Lonely Planet review

Yōshūji serves superb shōjin ryōri in a delightful old Japanese farmhouse with an irori (open hearth). The house special, a sumptuous selection of vegetarian dishes served in red lacquered bowls, is called kurama-yama shōn zen (around ¥2500 ). If you're just wanting a quick bite, try the uzu-soba ( soba topped with mountain vegetables; around ¥1050 ). It's halfway up the steps leading to the main gate of Kurama-dera ; look for the orange lanterns out the front.
