- [Iwashimizu Hachimangu](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/iwashimizu-hachimangu): Kyoto, Shrine. A hilltop Hachiman shrine founded in 859, whose ten main buildings became National Treasures in 2016. A three-minute cable car from Keihan Iwashimizu-hachimangu Station does most of the climb.
- [Ashiu Forest](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/ashiu-forest): Kyoto, Trail. About 4,200 hectares of beech and cedar forest at the source of the Yura River, run by Kyoto University as a research forest since 1921. You can walk three short routes on your own after filling in an entry form; the Kamitani valley and the rest of the interior are open only on a certified guided tour. It is about two hours' drive north of Kyoto, and closed under snow from mid-December to mid-April.
- [Michi-no-Eki Nagomi](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/michi-no-eki-nagomi): Kyoto, Michi no eki. Nagomi sits beside the Yura River on Route 27 in northern Kyotamba. Farm vegetables, Wachi specialties and a terrace make it a useful place to break a countryside drive, with food counters that deserve a separate check of their hours.
- [Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/nagaoka-tenmangu-shrine): Kyoto, Shrine. Crimson Kirishima azaleas line the pond crossing at Nagaoka Tenmangu, a shrine associated with scholar Sugawara no Michizane. Beyond the spring display, waterside paths and wooded precincts offer a rewarding stop along the Hankyu route between Osaka and Kyoto.
