Together with Kibune Tourism Association, Eizan Electric Railway Co., Ltd., which serves the northern part of the city of Kyoto, is holding an illumination event in the Kibune area from the 2nd (Sat.) to the 24th (Sun.) of November 2019. In this event, the leaves of maple trees, which turn a vivid red in autumn, will be lit up at night. Along the Eizan Railway lines, illumination will light up the Maple Tree Tunnel and the maple trees in the vicinity of Ninose and Kibuneguchi stations. In addition, lanterns and other lighting will be set up in the precincts of Kifune-jinja Shrine and streets lined with Japanese-style inns. When going through the illuminated Maple Tree Tunnel, the trains will turn off the lighting in the cars and slow down as they pass by the red-leaved trees, which make a magical sight when lit up at night. At Kifune-jinja Shrine, candles will be lit inside the Kasuga lanterns along the road leading up to the shrine gate, and illumination will make the deep red of the leaves on maple trees around the main hall and other structures stand out against the night sky along with the shrine buildings. Make sure not to miss the beautiful autumn scenery coloring the skies over the Rakuhoku district of Kyoto. For details, see the attachment.

Jack and Clare May Trip Report JAPAN March 24 to April 11, 2010
Jack and Clare May Trip Report JAPAN March 24 to April 11, 2010 Part 8 - Weduesday, March 31 – Kyoto-Otsu Circle With frequent service to Kyoto, only 25 miles away, we all rode the first express train that came along in that direction. Phil and I then said farewell to our wives, who would spend the day sightseeing in that historic city. We were going to take a circle trip to Mt. Hiei, riding one of Kyoto’s light interurban lines outbound and some standard interurban lines back--the counterclockwise version of the “circuit.” The first line we wanted to sample was the Keihan Keishin, which is somewhat unusual (and one I rode in 2005). Its route looks like a “T” rotated clockwise with the top running north south parallel to Lake Biwa and the stem from west to east, intersecting each other at Hamaotsu station in the town of Otsu. Originally a light interurban/tramway, the western end of the stem ran on the streets of Kyoto until that city built its second subway line. In 1997 this portion of the system was converted to a heavy metro, with some through running onto municipal subway line 2 (which had earlier replaced surface streetcar operation). But except for a change in the voltage from 600 to 1500, the rest of the system’s infrastructure appears to have remained the same, so that subway cars now run mixed with automobile traffic in the pavement of a street in Otsu,. Painted in a light blue color, their presence in that milieu is very overpowering, as they dwarf all other traffic.
