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, meer dan duizend jaar de keizerlijke hoofdstad van Japan, is een stad van tempels, tuinen, houten stadshuizen en verfijnde tradities.

De stad herbergt veel van de meest gekoesterde plekken van Japan. Duizenden vermiljoenrode torii-poorten van Fushimi Inari Taisha klimmen een beboste berg op, het Gouden Paviljoen van Kinkaku-ji schittert boven zijn vijver, en het houten podium van Kiyomizu-dera steekt uit de heuvel boven de stad. De rotstuin van Ryoan-ji en het met mos begroeide terrein van Ginkaku-ji nodigen uit tot stille overpeinzing.

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