Itinerary description

A short hike near Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion) with a nice view over Kyoto, I would strongly recommend it if you have the time after visiting the temple. It is a straightforward 25-30 minutes climb till you reach the viewpoint, you can continue up to the peak or go down the same way. Note the the route I chose to descend was a little bit more steep and rough and might not be suitable for everybody.
