Walk Yase Maple Path or Yase Momiji no Komichi, Kyoto’s free 300m loop beneath Mount Hiei. See Yase-Hieizanguchi Station, Takano River reflections, a retro cable car station, the Heiansento Monument, and a circular path of Japanese maples blazing at peak autumn colours, best experienced during sunset as the golden hour filters dramatically through the canopy of autumn foliage.
