2018 typhoon Jebi snapped trees damaging Kurama-dera, Buddhist temple. Kurama, Kyoto-fu, Japan.

On September 4, 2018, typhoon Jebi (strongest in 25 years) snapped trees and extensively damaged the grounds of Kurama Temple. During our visit in November, the cablecar was required to reach walking trails to the main hall; and the steep 1-hour hiking trail between Kurama and Kibune was closed until further notice. Kurama-dera is a peaceful Buddhist temple along the steep wooded mountainside above the rural town of Kurama, in the northern mountains of Kyoto City, Japan. A cablecar takes you halfway up the mountain.
