Finally, a map!
Despite all of the heat & humidity, this laborer carried a 75-pound+ steel container up the mountain! More on him later...
The major intersection (4-way) at the top! Complete with two restaurants.
The path on the left is where I went to next; it ascends a short distance and ultimately offers a view looking down over Kyoto.
A better shot of one of the restaurants. The staircase comes in from the right to the 4-way intersection.
And now, up the hill from the intersection...
No idea what this structure was, though the clearing provided for it affords views down to Kyoto (next pictures).
Looking west.
Looking north.
