About

Yoshuji serves shojin ryori near the Kurama Temple approach, with soba and multi-dish sets such as the popular large meal. The traditional, airy dining room is a well-liked stop before or after the Kurama–Kifune hike; ask about dashi, since a 2025 diner reported one side dish contained fish stock, and set meals can sell out near closing.
