Enryaku-ji Temple<\/p><\/div>\n

Further down the mountain is the very culturally and historically important Enryaku-ji Temple. This large temple complex is the main attraction and reason people come to Mt. Hiei…honestly you would be a little foolish to leave it off your itinerary. Seeing the temple complex in its entirety takes a lot of time though, so if you want to hike here and<\/em> see it you\u2019ll need to get up early in the morning!<\/p>\n

With that you should be able to find your way to Enryaku-ji Temple and the peak of Mt. Hiei on foot with no trouble. The mountain contains many more paths than the one described here, making Mt. Hiei a perfect day trip for any tourist visiting Kyoto or those living in the Kansai area. Enjoy hiking Kyoto!<\/p>\n[cft format=0]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
