A Photo Spot Inside Kyoto Station

In Japan, photo spots inside train stations have become more common in recent years.  

Kyoto Station is no exception.  

If you are taking the Shinkansen, you will find a Kyoto‑themed photo spot in the concourse area.

It features traditional elements such as a red paper umbrella, bamboo decorations, and seasonal artwork.  

It is a charming place where travelers can take a moment to capture a memory before continuing their journey.

If you visit Kyoto Station, please enjoy taking a commemorative photo here.

Mount Hiei – A Revised Reflection from Kyoto

 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.
