About two weeks ago now I went to small town near Kyoto City by the name of Kurama. It was listed in my Lonely Planet Hiking Guide (great book for getting you to the hike, fairly useless once you start to actually do it). It was a beautiful day, just before winter had started. As expected though, Kurama was swaming with old people on day tours and I had to spend the entire day on my feet. Worth though to see the famed Tengu and last red autumn leaves of the season.
