What other travelers are saying about Lanterns at Kifune-jinja Shrine
Take only a short 5 mins walk up the stairs to the shrine. The lamp path is so pretty and photogenic. On the left hand side you can donate to the temple and pick up the fortune paper that the prophesy will only appear when the paper is soaking which is also come with the QR code to scan and read the translate version in English too.

Wonderful place!
Not too far from Kyoto. I actually did the hike from Mount Kurama to Kifune, it was a stunning experience. Very rewarding when I reached this beautiful town full of amazing restaurants and good vibes. If you like to explore something unique, this is a great town.
Enjoy the tranquility and harmony!

The shrine is very small but the environment is great, with tall trees and clear mountains and streams. If you come in autumn, you can enjoy the maple leaves on the train🍁 But you need to transfer a few times to get there from the city. It takes five or six hours to go back and forth. If you are in a hurry, there is no need to come here.

Such a vibe! You can definitely feel the eerie atmosphere here. You have to walk a little but the scenery is amazing. It is so calming. I had the chance to see the fire festival here, you should definitely take a look on the website for the different events the temple do if it interest you. It's free too.

One of the most fullfilling places I have ever been to. I went in november around 18h. The lights were lit up and it was dark out.
Going up the montain felt like I was in a ghibli movie with the water gently going down the stream while we climbled to the top.
It was amazing! I recomend going there at night if you have the chance.
I felt it was such a unic experience and it was like we were alone in the japanese country side.
I hope I get to experience this again in my life.
Ps: my photos at night would never do this place justice.
