京都一周トレイル

Before you go

The Kyoto Isshu Trail is maintained by the Kyoto Isshu Trail Association, including Kyoto City. It runs from Fushimi-Momoyama via Mt. Hiei, Ohara, Kurama, Takao and Arashiyama to Koke-dera — about 84 km, with a separate 48.7 km Keihoku section. Trail markers are well maintained; start sections from stations or bus stops to match your fitness, passing World Heritage sites along the way.
