Let me preface this by saying that on this day, "To get to Demachiyanagi, go up Horikawa Dori, Karasuma Dori, or Kawabata Dori.I had a bit of trouble with the "I'm in a hurry," but I wasn't in a hurry and I had time.Kawabata Dori along Kamogawa Dori to feel Kyoto(Heavy traffic)I decided to go from(Sorry for the local stuff.)
As we approached the center of Kyoto City, the number of cars increased and the number of "stops and starts" increased dramatically.Unexpectedly, manual operation in traffic jams was not difficult at all.In the case of the BMW 320i, the clutch was light and easy to operate, making it rather enjoyable to drive from start to finish.
If this is how it's going to be, I might as well be in traffic at all (laughs).
We finally arrived at Demachiyanagi Station, about 20 minutes later than originally planned, after passing through the traffic jam on Kawabata-dori. From there, we transferred to the Eizan Electric Railway to go to the cable station. We usually travel by car, but it is nice to take a local train once in a while.
The children seemed to enjoy themselves.
As for the ropeway, there is no air conditioning in the car.(Power saving measures?)I was quite sweaty, but I was happy because I had a panoramic view of the city of Kyoto and had a rare experience.
It was hotter than expected at the summit, albeit cooler than at the base.I wiped off my sweat and strolled around, saying, "It's so hot!Well, I usually travel by car, so I need to sweat like this once in a while (laughs).
According to a blog reader, there was also a way to go up the Hieizan driveway, park at the parking lot at the top of the mountain, and walk to the ropeway station at the top of the mountain.
I see...
The Hieizan Driveway is said to fill up quickly in the parking lot on sunny evenings, and I have long been interested in this driveway, but the tolls are a bit expensive.(840 yen for the nearest round trip from the Tanodani toll booth)
But now that I've been there, I'd like to go there the next time I have the chance. Not only Hiei, but there seem to be quite a few good roads in the northern part of Kyoto city, so I would like to explore them and capture them on video.
