In northeast Kyoto not far from the Silver Pavilion are a handful of small and not so small temples and sites to be seen.
The hills are never too bad, and if you hug the small roads along the foothills of Mt. Hiei, you will enjoy a pleasant ride.
Among places worth a visit are:
Shisendo, Manshuin, and of course Shugakuin Imperial Villa
Many other temples dot the area, but these are perhaps the most major.
The road pictured above right is between Shugakuin and Manshuin. The residential area to the right (west) is filled with older homes; the area to the left is either wooded or farmland.
