Sakamoto Cable Car – Enryakuji Station

Highlight • Structure

The descent with this (second) mountain railway is longer than that on the west side of the mountain and also leads through a few smaller tunnels. I recommend both cable cars to use.

Highlight • Religious Site

For a small donation you can make a big bell here. The loud dong can be heard from afar.
