We were very lucky here as we made sure that we arrived there early and on doing so we missed the crowds of people that descended upon us as we were leaving each spot It is a nice walk to go from attraction to attraction and I liked the bamboo forest a lot as it was quiet and peaceful - just relaxing

If you take the Eizan line to Kurama you'll be right on the doorstep of this mountain. You have 2 choices of getting to the top, the cable car or the mixture of trail and steps. Obviously the cable car costs more on top of the 300 yen admission price, but definitely consider it if you would struggle the ascent. There are seats on the way up to take respite. I took the walk up in order to enjoy the trees and views gradually going up, I live in a city and this was the perfect place to get back to nature! The temples are beautiful and so is the view from the top, if you're like me and enjoy seeing mountains and forests. Loved it!

Boasts of one of top 3 most beautiful spots in Japan. I wouldn’t doubt it. Very blessed with excellent weather, clear skies so it looked superb, just like how it should. The highlight must-do here, is the Matanozoki, which is to stand on one of those stone steps, open your legs apart, bend over and look in between your legs. The sand pitch with the lush greenery is supposed to appear like a dragon ascending to the sky. Quite honestly, I did it a few times but didn’t quite see the flying dragon still, haha. But it’s a scenic view nonetheless. Took the chairlift up as the monorail operates only every 20 mins (and takes only 40pax each time) while the chairlift is constantly running so you don’t waste time waiting. The duration up is about the same 6-7 mins. The chairlift however, doesn’t have any belt so you really have to sit still or risk falling off and jamming up the entire system. It’s not as scary as it sounds or looks. But still, I’m surprised by how unsafe it is by Jap standards. Also this wouldn’t be ideal for families with young kids. Then I was lucky to catch the monorail just about to leave for the ground. It departs every 10th, 30th and 50th min of the hour. So I got to try both means of transport! In fact the journey down was so empty I had the entire first cabin to myself. Am glad we were one of the earlier groups to arrive so the entire place was fairly empty and made for good pictures. We were given an hr here which is more than enough for adults but I would imagine if I had my nephews with me, they wouldn’t leave till they finished all the amusement park rides.
