Attraction Highlights
Unlock the perfect combination of Kyoto's skyline views and World Heritage sites! This round‑trip ticket takes you directly to Mount Hiei at an altitude of 848 metres, covering two unique cable car experiences in one go — a hassle‑free choice for exploring Kyoto.

Two Distinct Cable Car Sections: The stair‑style line offers a unique climbing sensation with a 561‑metre elevation difference, while the aerial line transforms into a "sky observation deck" — with unobstructed panoramic views of the entire city of Kyoto below.

Perfect in Every Season: Cherry blossoms adorn the mountains in spring, and maple leaves paint the hills crimson in autumn — each season brings its own special romance.

Seamless Access to a World Heritage Site: After reaching the summit, you can hop on the shuttle bus to easily visit Enryaku‑ji Temple, saving you the trouble of transfers and making your itinerary smoother.

One ticket connects transport and attractions — no need to purchase separately, saving you time and effort. Whether you want immersive sightseeing, to capture season‑limited scenery, or to explore cultural heritage, everything is covered in one go. Ideal for couples, families, and culture enthusiasts.
