Mount Hiei and Enryaku-ji (Shiga Prefecture)
Mount Hiei (比叡山, Hieizan) — Perched northeast of Kyoto, Mount Hiei (848 m) hosts historic Enryaku-ji temple complex, ancient Buddhist monasteries, and forested trails. Sacred atmosphere, panoramic views of Kyoto and Lake Biwa, seasonal maple color, and centuries of religious influence and pilgrimage.
