10 Lookouts in Kinki That You Shouldn't Miss

April 30, 2022 Malia Yoakum

The Kansai region (関西地方, Kansai-chihō) or the Kinki region (近畿地方, Kinki-chihō) lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū. The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo and Shiga, sometimes Fukui, Tokushima and Tottori. While the use of the terms "Kansai" and "Kinki" have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable. The urban region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (Keihanshin region) is the second-most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area.

Sagano

Reviewed By badmintontim - Hastings, United Kingdom

We were very lucky here as we made sure that we arrived there early and on doing so we missed the crowds of people that descended upon us as we were leaving each spot It is a nice walk to go from attraction to attraction and I liked the bamboo forest a lot as it was quiet and peaceful - just relaxing

Mt. Kurama

Reviewed By boabin - Seoul, South Korea

If you take the Eizan line to Kurama you'll be right on the doorstep of this mountain. You have 2 choices of getting to the top, the cable car or the mixture of trail and steps. Obviously the cable car costs more on top of the 300 yen admission price, but definitely consider it if you would struggle the ascent. There are seats on the way up to take respite. I took the walk up in order to enjoy the trees and views gradually going up, I live in a city and this was the perfect place to get back to nature! The temples are beautiful and so is the view from the top, if you're like me and enjoy seeing mountains and forests. Loved it!
