Koboro Station – Koboro Cave Route

Being certified to reach an unexplored site after strenuous trail walking

Take a local train to JR Koboro Station, Japan’s best spot off the track. Then, walk down a lush-green bush path to Koboro Cave, where a Buddha statue made by a Budda priest Enku used to be offered. Please wear the clothing and shoes suitable for a rough walk as you hike the steep slopes alongside the stream. Also, be careful not to miss one of the very few trains back home.
