3. Hatayama, a 271.9m-high mountain, is the site of Hachimanyama Castle, built by Toyotomi Hidetsugu in 1585 (Tensho 13). It is believed to have been a massive fortress with the Honmaru (main keep) at the very top of Hachimanyama, and the Ninomaru (second bailey), Nishinomaru (west bailey), Kitanomaru (northern bailey), and Demaru (outer bailey). While only the stone walls remain, the remains of the Murakumo Palace Zuiryuji Temple Monastery stands on the site of the Honmaru. The Hachimanyama Ropeway takes you from the base of the mountain to the summit in approximately four minutes, offering views of Lake Biwa and the former castle town of Omihachiman. Omihachiman City is famous for its Hachimanbori moat and waterfront sightseeing trails. With its white-walled storehouses, mansions built by wealthy merchants, and stone walls, the charming streets seem as if time has stood still for centuries, making it a tourist attraction that is a delight to stroll through.

About Kyoto

Kyoto, capitale imperiale del Giappone per oltre mille anni, è una città di templi, giardini, case di legno e tradizioni raffinate.

La città custodisce molti dei luoghi più preziosi del Giappone. Le migliaia di portali torii vermigli del Fushimi Inari Taisha salgono su una montagna boscosa, il Padiglione d'Oro del Kinkaku-ji scintilla sul suo stagno e il palco di legno del Kiyomizu-dera sporge dal pendio sopra la città. Il giardino di roccia del Ryoan-ji e i terreni muschiosi del Ginkaku-ji invitano alla contemplazione silenziosa.

Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
