Kurama-dera Temple and Yuki Shrine

We took the Eiden line train from Demachiyanagi Station to Kurama. From Kurama Station, we walked to Kurama Temple and Kibune Shrine.
They are in the mountain, so we walked along

the mountain path.

 We got to the gate of Kurama Temple after
30 minutes walk.

In front of the major building of Kurama Temple, there was a pentagram on the ground. Other people made a line to say a prayer on the pentagram. We didn't know the reason of that action, but I assumed that the pentagram was the power spot and joined the line.

After saying a prayer in front of the temple, we went ahead into the mountain path.
