Enryakuji

This is a great facility for a historic Buddhism sect! This Historic sect was found more than 1000 years ago. This is the birth place of the historic one. There are many great buildings and temples in this facility. You can walk around to see all of it. The facility is large, located in some areas. You can get up from both Kyoto side and Shiga side. I recommend to get cable car from Shiga side. It takes less time. Enjoy!!

Great place to visit, and less people go here as it's further away. I'd go again and recommend

It has been years since I was there, and it was nice to go again. Vegetarian kaiseki-type food served at the temple.

Worth the effort. Beautiful hiking trails with great views of Kyoto.

Good temple to do an easy hike around Kyoto. Enryaku-ji is famous to be the headquarters of the Tendai sect (buddhism).
