This is the video of Yase-Hieizanguchi Train Station near Mt. Hiei in northeast of Kyoto City. Mt. Hiei is a very important mountain in Kyoto's history and has a very famous temple called Enryakuji, in many sprawling acres of the mountain surroundings.
The train station servers as a starting point for visitors to Mt. Hiei to get to the Cable car and then a Rope way. This climb for the visitors is from the Kyoto prefecture side. Mt. Hiei also has another approach through cable car from the Shiga Prefecture side.
Eizan Railway runs the trains between Yase station near Mt. Hiei and Demachiyanagi station in Kyoto City.
The surrounds of Yase station are also fantastic and you can walk around the station and enjoy the sesonal foliage, if you are just waiting for the train, or otherwise.
Hope you get to visit this station and enjoy Mt. Hiei also. Enjoy!!!
