Set in the northern mountains of Kyoto and surrounded by lush cedar forests sits the charming village of Kibune. It is the perfect escape from the big city.⁠

Exploring the ancient Kifune Shrine is a must when visiting this area. The shrine is dedicated to the deity of water and rain. Here you’ll find a special omikuji (paper fortune) which appears only when floated on the water of the shrine’s fountain. If you visit during summer, kawadoko, a unique kaiseki dining experience on platforms built above the Kibune River, is also a must! 💦⁠
