I thought the Eizan Cable Car was only famous during the fall foliage season.
 I went up while admiring the beautiful green mountains in early summer. If you reserve a ticket through Wag, you can exchange it by just showing the QR code at the exchange office.
 It was convenient because I could exchange it for a ticket right away, and I could board without waiting!

Highlights

The stairway cable car is a must-ride on the way to Mount Hiei!

Did you know that the way to Mount Hiei consists of a 1-stage cable car and a 2-stage ropeway? The Eizan Cable Car is a means of transportation that operates for 9 minutes over a distance of approximately 1.3km at a height of 561m, and you can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and tunnels of autumn foliage through the car window.

If you get off the cable car and transfer to the ropeway, you can reach the summit of Mount Hiei, and you can purchase the ropeway here!

Program

The most desirable route to climb Mount Hiei!

Mount Hiei, 848m high, where Enryakuji Temple, founded in 788, is located! It is a popular spot where you can see Lake Biwa in Kyoto and traditional scenery at once. There are several ways to climb Mount Hiei, but the easiest and most beautiful way is to take the Eizan Cable Car, get off, transfer to the ropeway, and reach the summit.

*You can purchase ropeway tickets here, and cable car one-way tickets here.

Ride the stairway cable car

A cable car that operates for 9 minutes over a distance of approximately 1.3km at a height of 561m! You can relax and enjoy the view, and you'll be so busy taking in the beautiful scenery that you'll forget to take pictures. We recommend moving from the prettiest front seat, as you can see various Kyoto landscapes at a glance, such as cherry blossoms in spring, green forests in summer, and autumn foliage in autumn.

Enjoy a comfortable ride up the road with beautiful and quaint scenery that is hard to see anywhere else.
