- Eizan Electric Railway
- Eizan Electric Railway has two lines, the Eizan Main Line starting at Demachiyanagi Station and traveling to Ohara and Mount Hiei, and the Kurama Line which services the Kibune and Kurama area, called the "drawing room of Kyoto." With cherry blossoms and green growth in spring, cool evenings in summer, colorful tree foliage in fall and snowy landscapes in winter, Kibune and Kurama bring you close to the four seasons of northern Kyoto. Filled with places that are off the beaten path, the Eizan lines are favorites among those who know the ins and outs of Kyoto.
