Hieizan Enryakuji Temple. Needless to say, the Tendai sect's super mecca.
Enryakuji Temple consists of three areas: the east tower, the west tower, and the yokawa.
This time to Yokogawa, the innermost part. Even so, it is difficult to read.
Of course, there are buses from Kyoto Station. Well, this is the straightest way to go,
Recommended for those who want to enjoy the journey to get there.
First of all, when you arrive at Kyoto Station, go to the bus stop, A2 stop.
Take the Kyoto Municipal Bus 17 bound for Shijo Kawaramachi / Ginkakuji. 27 minutes to Demachiyanagi station. The fee is 230 yen.
While looking at Kawaramachi in Kyoto through the bus window, he said, "Hmm, Kyoto also has a downtown area like this."
While thinking, while looking at the building of Kyoto City Hall, looking at the Kamogawa Delta while passing over the bridge, head to Eizan Electric Railway "Demachiyanagi Station".
Take the Eizan Electric Railway bound for "Yase" to "Yase-Hieizanguchi Station". The fee is 260 yen.
When I think that I was running in the city, I enjoyed the train trip that slowly changed to nature.
When you get off at "Yase-Hieizanguchi Station", you can walk to "Hieizan Ropeway" in 3 minutes. 540 yen.
Please buy a ticket by "Mt. Hiei summit". Because there is a transfer on the way
I was asked if it was a ticket to the transfer or to the top of the mountain, but there was nothing to get off on the way.
When you reach the top of the mountain, walk to the bus stop. There is no information board around here,
It's okay because there is only one road. About 7 minutes on foot.
The positional relationship of Yokokawa is like this. It is located in the innermost part from the lowway.
The advanced version of the one who saw the east tower and the west tower is probably Yokokawa.
time table. Basically 2 bottles per hour. I'm pretty scared. Moreover, if you miss the final on your way home, it's too dangerous. .. ..
The bus is very clean. However, there are few people. Yokokawa is not very popular. ..
Arrive at Yokokawa in about 15 minutes by bus. It feels good with few people.
The temple is good, but I really like the nature around here.
Yokokawa Nakado. The stage is made with Kiyomizu Temple. The contrast between green and vermilion is beautiful.
It's a nice spot where you can feel at ease without people.
This area is quite quiet in Enryakuji. It feels like a hike and there is a temple on the way.
Along the way, there is a stone monument related to Kyoshi Takahama, and the historical romance does not stop.
A nice stone statue of Wabi-Sabi. The Buddha is kind.
This area seems to be very beautiful during the fall foliage season. It may be called a little-known spot.
Shikikodo. It was the residence of the ambassador of charity. And this is the birthplace of Omikuji! Really?
I don't talk about it at all. ..
However, the Omikuji here is a little different (or rather, this is the original translation),
First of all, he told the monks about his worries, and I wonder if it was like a therapy.
Or is it the confession of the church? I didn't have much time, so I went through.
While thinking that such a house in the mountains seems to be difficult, it is a very good house!
I'm sure there were a lot of disciples, and it seems that all the disciples are doing shopping, so I'm a little jealous.
