Better to go earlier that opening time, because it's so popular. Need to walk for a quite long from Kifune bus stop. pic.twitter.com/AjwpJzgI8l

6, Comments from EnjoyJapan! Editorial dept.
Climate in Kifune area, which we featured this time, is completely different from that of Kyoto city. Like Kurama area, which is next to Kifune, it is very cool and comfortable place in the middle of Summer.
Speaking of Kifune, there is a famous spiritual place "Kifune Jinja" and many tourists visit for sightseeing, and there is Kurama nearby,where there is another famous spiritual place "Kurama temple" andpopular one day visit hot spring "Kurama onsen" are located, so many people visit both areas.
The Summer in this year is really hot.
Please come to Hirobun and enjoy Nagashi Somen (Flowing cold noodles) or Kawadoko ryori to heal your daily fatigue and tiredness.
Please remember that Kawadoko in Kifune is available for limited period from May 1st to late September.
