Kyoto Trail Higashiyama Course Route 2: Ichijoji Forest Road to Mt Hiei

京都一周トレイル東山コース ルート2 一乗寺林道終点〜比叡山

The most mountain-like section of the Kyoto Trail's Higashiyama Course: from marker 64 at the end of the Ichijoji forest road north to the course terminus at Cable Hiei Station, about 4 km and roughly 2 hours, climbing from 295 m to about 690 m, with a steeper gradient after marker 69. You can descend by cable car, about 9 minutes to Yase. Allow margin before sunset and leave the route if you feel unwell.
