Scenic Viewpoints and Peaks

Kyoto's geography is defined by the mountains surrounding the city basin and iconic landmarks that punctuate its skyline. This selection features the 131-meter Kyoto Tower, the historic 155-meter Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama, and the sacred 924-meter Mt. Atago. From the heights of the Hiei-zan Driveway to the rural vistas of Ohara, these locations offer perspectives ranging from urban panoramic decks to traditional 'kawarake-nage' spots where clay discs are thrown into forested valleys to ward off misfortune.
