Hiking is a pretty big pastime in Japan, and often over the weekends, you'll spot heaps of people dressed in the latest gear from Montbell heading out of the cities to enjoy nature.
I headed up a smaller hike in Kansai which starts in a lovely valley full of rice fields and small farmhouses and goes past a couple of temples before reaching the top of the mountain.

Hiking Mt. Hiei in Kyoto // Spent a cloudy morning hiking up Mt. Hiei in northeastern Kyoto.
DIRECTIONS TO MT HIEI:
Take the Karasuma subway line from Kyoto station to Kitayama Station. Go out exit 1. Turn left out of the exit, cross the street, then turn right and cross the street, and wait at the bus stop for bus #8. If you want to take the cable car and ropeway all the way to the top of Mt Hiei, get off the bus at Shugakuin station (修学院) and take the light rail to the end of the line where you can transfer to the cable car. If you want to hike all the way, get off the bus at Ichijoji Kinomoto Cho (一乗寺木ノ本町) and walk to the Nihon Baptist Hospital. Photo directions are in the article below.

Quick hike up Mount Daimonji in Kyoto | Kansai | Travel in Japan
Mt. Daimonji in Kyoto.
Heavy breathing is due to my face being close to the camera looking at live view. I had originally intended to overlay music over the original audio but changed my mind after hearing the sounds of nature in the background.
Footage isn't as sharp as it should be, I had been taking photos earlier and ...kind of left a filter on my lens, d'oh.

Kyoto, Japan - Late Winter Hike at Mount Atago 愛宕山
Do you like hiking? Geographically, Kyoto city is situated in a valley and surrounded by gorgeous mountains. One of the first things we did when it warmed up was strap on our hiking boots and take to the hills! Special guest appearances by my trail buddies Chiako and Mark.

ROUTE DIRECTIONS:
Disclaimer: The directions only represent my personal experience. I accept no responsibility for any losses or injuries resulting from following these directions. Hike safe!
Get off at Oji-koen station, walk west along the wall of the park, past the zoo entrance, and turn right at the Museum of Literature. Walk straight ahead up the hill all the way to the end of the (increasingly narrow) road, then cross the bridge to your right, and you’ll reach the hike’s starting point. (Get directions to here: )
Go up the slope to the left, and the hiking trail begins. Walk up and up the concrete slope, cross a few bridges over the stream, and keep following the signs to 摩耶山頂. Warning: there are lots of steps..!
Near the top, at the last ruins, turn left and wrap around to the shrine on top of the mountain, then go straight ahead over the hill, down the slope, to the road. Turn right, and you’re at the top. Enjoy the view!
Coming down, head back down the road towards the path you arrived on, and go down the stairs to your left. Follow the path down, turn left at the junction (look for the 摩耶ケーブル下 signs), then follow the signs all the way down… It’s a little confusing at 2 intersections: at one, you have to turn right and go UP the stairs (even though it feels like the wrong way), and then a minute later, you have to go DOWN the stairs and cross the river (even though the path looks very small). Then climb the stairs when you reach a small dam, down the other side, and you’re done! (End hike point: ). It’s an easy 15 minute walk back to Oji-koen station.
Drone footage of Katsura River, Japan
Drone footage of Katsura River, Japan, a river that flows between Mount Atago and Mount Ponpon in Kyoto.
I'd heard about this location, but when i caught the train to the mountain the ticket man told me there was nothing and nobody there.
Just mountain. Be careful, he said ominously.
When I got there, however, and saw the river and bridge, I knew Id get some good footage.
This is only my second drone excursion, so there isn't a lot of quality footage worth sharing. But I hope you enjoy this short piece.

The Kansai region or the Kinki region lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū.The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo, and Shiga.Depending on who makes the distinction, Fukui, Tokushima and even Tottori Prefecture are also included.While the use of the terms Kansai and Kinki have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable.

Hiking Mount Rokko, near Kobe Japan (Kansai's best 100 mountains, #20)
Mount Rokko (Elevation:931m)
Location: Hyogo Prefecture (Day trip from Osaka, Kobe).
(Google Map: )
Walking time: 4hrs 40mins
Distance: 12.1kms total
Hiking Elevation: 1179m up, 840m down
Difficulty: Intermediate level
Climbing season: mid-March ~ end-November
Notes: A scenic hike highlighting the best of the Rokko mountain range. Great sweeping views from the top, all the way from Kobe to Osaka, and as far as Awaji island and Wakayama. Finish up with a bath in one of the oldest (and one of the 3 “most famous”) hot springs areas in Japan, Arima Onsen. Warning: watch out for cheeky wild boars. If you encounter them, don’t run (and don’t feed them). Just relax, try not to startle them, and stay out of their way as much as possible.

ROUTE DIRECTIONS:
Disclaimer: The directions only represent my personal experience. I accept no responsibility for any losses or injuries resulting from following these directions. Hike safe!
Get off at Ashiya-gawa station, and walk north along the west side of Ashiya river. Follow the signs for 高座の滝, and fill your water bottle at the fountain in the park on the right. At the post box take the left fork, then the road turns hard left at a nice apartment building, then follow it (don't turn right immediately) until you see the next sign at the next fork, pointing up to the right. Walk straight up the hill until you reach the little waterfall and start of the official hiking trail (and the last toilet until the top of the mountain). (Get directions to here: )
Head up the trail to the left, and then up to your right, and the steep climb up through the rock garden starts. Don’t forget to turn around sometimes to enjoy the view!
When you reach the giant power line tower at 風吹岩 (means= “wind-swept rock”), turn right up the slope, and follow the course through Ashiya Country Club Golf Course (don’t forget to close the gate so the wild boar don’t get in/out). The course climbs again steadily after that, with the occasional downhill to cross small streams (don’t worry there are stepping stones so your feet shouldn’t get wet). After a final long steady uphill, you will arrive at the 一軒茶屋, a teahouse which has been operating since the Edo-era.
Head up the final slope to the top of Mount Rokko, and enjoy the amazing views. Hopefully you have good weather! Then head back down, and turn left onto the small path at the edge of the parking lot. It’s a pleasant downhill stroll all the way to Arima Onsen.
Turn right when you reach the road, then after you pass the big nice hotel on your left, turn left down the stairs, past the Tansansengen park, and through the quaint village, all the way to the bus stop. (End hike point: ). For trains back to Kobe, Arima Onsen station is only a short walk past the main tourist intersection.

Hiking Mount Mitake & Koganegadake, Hyogo Japan (Kansai’s best 100 mountains, #32)
Mount Mitake & Koganegadake (Elevation:793m)
Location: Hyogo Prefecture, Sasayama city (Day trip from Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto).
(Google Map: )
Walking time: 4hrs 10mins
Distance: 7.9kms total
Hiking Elevation: 841m up, 854m down
Difficulty: Intermediate level
Climbing season: early-April ~ end-November
Notes: A lovely hike summiting the main peaks of the Taki Alps; Mt. Mitake and Koganegatake, with gorgeous panoramic views. Starts and ends in a quaint village of traditional roofed houses.
Music: “Gateway”, from the Album “Hidden Dancers”, by Richard Goldsworthy
ROUTE DIRECTIONS:
Disclaimer: The directions only represent my personal experience. I accept no responsibility for any losses or injuries resulting from following these directions. Hike safe!
Starting point:
The trail begins between 2 beautiful traditional Japanese houses. Follow the signs, through the gate (keeping the wild boar out of the village), and up the stairs. It’s quite a steep rise up to the summit of Mitake（三岳）, with some beautiful views on the way.
From the small hut at the top, turn right and follow the trail along the ridge, gradually down until you cross the road and find the “Forest Adventure” park. Walk straight ahead through the park and a cedar forest, then the trail climbs steeply up over some rocks with great panoramic views.
From the top of Koganegatake （小金ヶ岳）, make sure you follow the signs down to 小金口 as it’s easy to get lost. There’s a lovely little stream which forms towards the end of the trail.
End point:
