Kyoto Mt. Hiei from Takano River Bridge

Takano River Mt. Hiei京都比叡山高野川自転車

The Takano River and the Kamo River join north of downtown Kyoto, at Demachiyanagi, and form the Kamo River (different kanji).

Both photos were taken on a bridge that spans the Takano River near Kitaoji.

The day was blustery and cold for late April.

The photo above right shows Mt. Hiei, on top of which sits Enryakuji Temple.

The photo below is looking straight up the river towards the hills to the north.

The area is close to Kitayama and other points in northeast Kyoto, such as Shugakuin Villa.
