Mount Hiei

After waking up at the Courtyard, we headed over to 瑠璃光院 Ruriko-in for its fall special viewing event. We then ascended 比叡山 Mt. Hiei by funicular and aerial tram. Atop the mountain, we visited the ガーデンミュージアム比叡 Garden Museum Hiei and various buildings of 延暦寺 Enryaku-ji. We descended by funicular to the east and returned to Kyoto by train. In the evening, we attended a special night viewing at 智積院 Chishaku-in.

We visited Rurikō-in today in northeastern Kyoto for the special Autumn viewing event.  Although the fall foliage was well past peak, it was still a fantastic experience and quite different from most temple visits.  #Rurikoin #fallfoliage #Kyoto #Japan
