We usually look up Mt. Daimonji from the foot. But from the mountain, it commands this amazing view of Kyoto city. We can sit on the wall with legs throw out, and stay this tranquil place for many hours.◎You need to climb the mountain for about 30 min. Climb from the side of Ginkaku-ji Temple.

30 min by bus from Kyoto Station to Ginkakuji Michi, then 90 min walk to the mountain top.
Limited for only 100 people to enter, the night special visiting was held for the first time in 2016. A tunnel of fall foliage worth seeing even in the daytime becomes indescribably beautiful by the illuminations at night. I want this special visiting to be held in and after 2017.
