Kurama
mountain, the mountain opposite side of Kibune
river, is known as a legend of tengu (Ushiwakamaru).
The Buddha is said he administered the universe.
This shrine has a mysterious atmosphere because
the legend is told that the deity came down to
the earth from Venus 6,500,000 years ago. Using a
cable car when you go up and walking the approach
to a shrine when you go down are the best way to
see red leaves in fall.
