Mt. Hiei or “Hieizan” is one of the strongholds of Buddhism in Japan, offering scenic views, historic temples, and tough hiking trails!
Mt. Hiei is easily my favorite hiking trail in Kyoto, not just for the challenging route, but also the perfect picnic spot at the summit!
Few hikes come close to the breathtaking beauty of Kyoto’s Mt. Hiei route, but when hiking in winter, be prepared for a whole new experience!
