The Kyoto trail is a hiking course of 83.3 km around the Kyoto basin, running from Fushimi-Momoyama station to Kamikatsura station.
I hiked one part of Kyoto trail, from the Fushimi-Inari shrine to Keage, on March 30th, 2020.
I’ll introduce the Fushimi-inari shrine, Higashiyama, Bukkoji temple and the Keage incline.
