Kyoto - Mt Daimonji hike

Day 5 - I caught the No. 100 bus back to Ginkaku-ji and found the start of the hiking trail to Mt Daimonji as described here Hiking in Kyoto: Daimonji

It was a pretty easy half hour up, hot and humid being summer and all but the oldies weren't breaking a drop of sweat, unlike me.

 The views up top were amazing.

 In this photo you can see one of the fire pits they use for the festival on August 16th, where several bonfires are lit at the end of Obon. They can be seen from across Kyoto.

Saw some pretty cool fungi on the trail too.

Another 20 minutes or so back down and then back onto the No.100 bus to Kyoto station. Nice half day before heading back home to Tokyo.
