What to expect

Mount Hiei has been regarded as the holy mountain to protect the capital since ancient times. There are Enryakuji Temple and Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine with a long history and prosperous incense in the mountain. There is an endless stream of worshippers. In particular, Enryakuji Temple is the main mountain of the Tendai sect of Japanese Buddhism. Mount Hiei has almost become synonymous with Enryakuji Temple, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization designated Enryakuji Temple as a World Heritage Site in 1994.
