On November the 21st 2017, I climbed Mt. Kibuneyama（貴船山）. The weather was rainy on the mountain and I did not take so many photos.
I started climbing from Moritani Jinja Shrine/Fuji Jinja Shrine（守谷神社/富士神社）of Ninose（二ノ瀬）. Moritani Jinja worships Prince Koretaka（惟喬親王）. He failed in political conflicts with Yoshifusa Fujiwara（藤原良房）and contributed the development of the village by teaching a technique for making wood bowls by a lathe. He lived in Ono（小野）, where I visited at the last climbing. Fuji Jinja worships Koretaka’s mother.
Yonakitoge Pass（夜泣峠）. A legend says that baby Koretaka quitted crying at night here by his mother’s pray to Kṣitigarbha（地蔵）.
A fog turned out to be a rain.
The top of Mt. Kibuneyama（貴船山）. There was more snow on the slope and it is a sign for the end of climbing season for beginners. I moved forward to Takitanitoge Pass（滝谷峠）, however, there was a collapse. The guidebook says that beginners had better not get out of the main pass in this district, so I went down to Ninose. If I were familiar with the place as my field for studying cellular slime molds in Izu（伊豆）, I would have made a traverse, as I did so many times to reach my quadrats. But I was a stranger for the place and the weather was bad. Later on, I met with a man who came behind me in the mountain and he said he had succeeded in traversing. That’s OK, if one has confidence.
After the downhill, I went to Kifune Jinja Shrine（貴船神社）. It worships a god of rain, Takaokaminokami（高龗神）. It is said to be founded in the age of Emperor Hanzei（反正天皇）.
Katsura Cercidiphyllum japonicum（カツラ）is also worshipped.
There is also a stone garden.
Yuinoyashiro（結社） worships a goddess of eternity, Iwanagahimenomikoto（磐長姫命）and is famous for a good match (for marriage, though it failed in the myth of Japan).
Okumiya（奥宮） was a former place for the main shrine.
