Mount Hiei rises between Kyoto and Shiga, offering cool mountain air, forest trails, and sweeping views of the city and Lake Biwa. It’s known not just for its natural beauty, but also for Enryakuji Temple — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and important place in Japanese Buddhism. Visitors can hike, take the scenic cable car, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere at the top. With gardens, temples, and soft mist often hanging in the air, Mount Hiei feels like a quiet world above the rush of everyday life.
