Mount Hiei is one of the sacred places of Japan.
At its summit stands Enryakuji, the head temple of the Tendai sect, where the Eternal Flame has been kept burning for more than a thousand years.
Mount Hiei in Kyoto
Since the capital moved to Heian‑kyo, Mount Hiei has quietly watched over the city of Kyoto.
Whenever I look at this mountain, I feel a deep sense of calm.
Visitors can reach the summit not only by car, but also by taking the cable car and ropeway.
The slow ascent through the forest is part of the charm, and many travelers enjoy the journey itself.
If you come to Kyoto, I hope you will take a moment to view Mount Hiei.
It is a place where time seems to move gently.
