in"One-day trip to Eizan Tram by private railway"In the article, I once introduced that the Eizan Tram is full of good places to appreciate the fall foliage, especially the stylish tram carriages, which can add a lot of fun to the fall foliage.The transportation to Kurama is actually quite convenient, but you have to do some homework first. After overcoming the problem of route transfer, you can play all the way from Kurama in Luobei, and you can visit many maple viewing spots in one day.
Transportation: Suggestions for transportation and itinerary planning to Kurama
Eizan Electric Railway is the most convenient means of transportation to Kurama, and because Eizan Electric Railway only connects to Demachiyanagi Station on Keihan Electric Railway, travelers living in Kyoto can first take the Kyoto Subway to Keihan Electric Railway, or take the bus route to Demachiyanagi Station. ; If you are coming from Osaka or Nara, you can take the Keihan Electric Railway directly and take the Eizan Electric Railway at Demachiyanagi Station.
In terms of itinerary planning, usually everyone will buy a one-day ticket for the Eizan Tram, enjoy the discount of a one-day ride on the Eizan Tram, and visit many well-known maple viewing spots along the route.However, Wendy thinks that this is just a promotion method for Ruishan Tram, which is quite suitable for people with strong feet, or planning to visit Kurama at the same time within a day.Kibune and Hieiyama.People in Liuliguangyuan, both of which are very close to the station, can also maximize the benefits of a one-day ride.
As far as the maple viewing itinerary is concerned, the Manshu Monastery, Shixian Hall, Shugakuin Ligong, etc. along the line are still about one kilometer away from the Eizan Tram Station. After exercising on the mountain roads of Mount Kurama, it is usually difficult to continue walking too much. road.Therefore, after Wendy and Anya take the Eizan tram to Kurama Temple, on the return trip, get off at Homichi Station, transfer to the quite prestigious No. 5 bus route, follow Shirakawa-dori to Manshuin and other places, the transportation fee will be slightly higher, but It can save a lot of energy!

After exiting the Kurama Station of the Eizan Tram, oncoming is a huge Kurama Tengu. According to legend, it was the Great Tengu who taught Gen Yoshitsune (Urakumaru) swordsmanship and art of war in Kurama Mountain. After everyone took pictures here, Kurama was the easiest This is the end of the trip!The next step is the long road to mountaineering. I walked on the road of Yuan Yoshitsune who practiced kung fu at Kurama Temple. I really can exercise my body!

Inside the worship case at Kurama Temple
The entire Kurama Mountain occupies a vast area, and the endless mountain roads and stairs are the biggest challenge for travelers.Those who love mountain hiking can arrange a whole day to leave the station from Kurama Station, climb Mount Kurama step by step, and then cross the entire Kurama Mountain from the ancient road in the mountain, then arrive at Guichuan, and then return home from Guichuankou Station. After the day's hiking itinerary, mountain lovers are absolutely satisfied.
Of course, our main purpose of this trip was to enjoy the maple, but we did not take such a desperate itinerary. We had to leave our energy to visit other famous places for maple viewing!So, after receiving the 300 yen per person Aishan fee, I will continue to send 100 yen one-way at the Bomeiden, and take the mountain railway car directly to the Kurama mountain!If you want to use money in exchange for physical strength, you can go up the mountain with no effort, but the road to the source of Yoshitsune is not trivial, and the trail behind it is worth seeing!

Kuramashan Steel Rope Railway
There are only two stations on the Kurama Mountain Cable Railway (くらまやまこうさくてつどう), climbing from the "Shanmen Station" at the bottom of the mountain to the "Duobao Pagoda Station" on the mountain, which can save energy for climbing.In addition, the mountain climbing railways of Mount Kurama and Yasei Hiei are relatively rare mountain climbing modes. It is also very interesting to ride. You can experience it. The pick-up point is at the Boming Temple on the right hand side of the entrance.
