Mount Hiei
It works well as a day hike, as you can stay in Kyoto and take the train to Shugakuin Station to start your walk. Alternatively, the Grand Prince Kyoto Hotel is located across the Takaragaike Park, just over 30 minutes walk from Shugakuin. For more on what to see and do in Kyoto - including the Philosopher's Walk for those of you who aren't quite ready to hang up your hiking boots after scaling Mount Hiei
