Kyoto Hiking Group
KHG started five years ago with the intention to bring people together and go on shared adventures. The goal is to socialize in nature and create some lasting memories.

The Route
From the meeting point we walk towards Honen-in temple and take a bit hidden path up to the steps leading to the big Dai character.

After a break, we continue to the top for lunch.

From there we follow a path on the back of the mountain to the starting point.

Bicycle parking
There is free bicycle parking near the meeting point. I park my bike there as well. We pass this at the end.

1.000 yen
This event is 1.000 yen. Please pay in cash upon arrival.

What to wear?
Despite being a beginner hike, you do need to wear closed shoes and a back pack. A shoulder back is not recommended.

It will probably get extra hot while hiking so wear light clothing. If you don't like mosquitos, please wear clothes that fully cover arms and legs.

I usually wear shorts and a T-shirt.

Pack a snack, lunch and plenty of water
There are no convenience stores on the way. Even vending machines are scarce.

Please make sure that you have everything with you before arriving at the meeting spot.

No toilets
There are no toilets on the trail. You are free to use the privacy of the forest. There is no toilet at the meeting point.

The last opportunity is before going up to the silver temple.

Safety first
Please only join if you are in a general fit condition. It's still a hike. Please participate at your own risk.

Looking forward to a great hike and meeting you there.
