I am glad you managed to read my spelling mistakes. I would just like to recommend the Lonely Planets 'Hiking in Japan' to Nicolle as a good way of starting to walk around Kyoto. It suggests some lovely walks of varying levels and suggests which maps to buy etc. From there you can design your own routes.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards<BR/>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094040010494593658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13556264.post-31116424616597692842007-10-23T15:19:00.000+09:002007-10-23T15:19:00.000+09:00Hi JennyThe Kotohira shrine was built at the site ...Hi Jenny<BR/><BR/>The Kotohira shrine was built at the site of a sacred spring that is/was primarily Buddhist,<BR/>Another mountaintop shrine near Kyoto I would recommend is Atago Jinja on top of Mt.

From there you can take the Higashiyama trail north over Daimonji to Hiezan.<BR/>From there the Kitayama trail heads west and passes over Konpirasan.<BR/>All the trails are well marked, and well travelled.<BR/>Sorry, Ive never stayed at a temple so I dont know what to suggest.ojisanjakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01057056525467628314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13556264.post-1153532902335074972006-07-22T10:48:00.000+09:002006-07-22T10:48:00.000+09:00thank you for your article, I live in Kyoto for al...thank you for your article, I live in Kyoto for almost 2 years now, and this summer vacation I would like to hike up the mountains around it. Can you please give more suggestions on other sites that I can visit? Also, if I want to sleep at a temple, how do I arrange it? I hope you can help me, thank you very much!hulyemadarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10542320941941505809noreply@blogger.com
