What other travelers are saying about Kurama-dera Temple

坐叡山電車到最後一站,也差不多1200年以上的歷史。這邊的特色就是除了火車就可以看到特殊的人頭造景。到了這邊已經4點多了。但心裡還是要爬到最後。所以就勇往直前往上爬有一顆800年的杉樹。爬到最上面有感動到的感覺。

出了鞍馬車站後走10分鐘就可以到達山門, 參拜需要門票,搭乘纜車需要再給一筆愛山費,畢竟屬於比較郊區需要經費維護纜車跟整理環境,但也不貴算是換個角度給寺廟香油錢 可惜這次來還不夠冷,不然楓葉盛開一定也很美🥲 如果有安排參觀貴船神社跟鞍馬寺的旅人 可以先來鞍馬寺再從寺內的步道走約30-40分鐘可抵達貴船神社,全程大部分都是下坡,屬於好爬好走的旅程,想要挑戰高難度可以從貴船走上鞍馬,前提是另一伴不會生氣🤣

2024/12/03 從鞍馬站一路走上來參拜 再從山路走過去貴船 一路景色宜人 在森林中健行真是無比舒適 (但體力不好的人要先斟酌一下)

從貴船神社這側的入口,可以購買愛山券上山,路程不算是太累的健行,前段偏上坡,後段就比較平緩。 上山的路程可以感受到山林的寧靜,中間也有幾個小景點可以停留,獨旅的人也推薦,不須太擔心危險,自行登山的路程路上蠻多同行的人,只需抓準下山時間即可,到本殿後下山路程也可以考慮搭乘纜車下山,會到鞍馬驛附近,可以再轉乘電車
