Sun bursts through fall foliage colors by a red Japanese lantern. Kurama-dera, Buddhist temple, Kurama, Kyoto-fu, Japan. 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 (Kyoto-fu). A cablecar takes you halfway up the mountain. In September 2018, a typhoon 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.
