We went through this shrine on the way to the mountain.

I haven't tried to figure out the name yet.

Shrine grounds.

Autumn hillside.

Trees.

A view from a short way up the mountain.

I don't know what that building is.

City.

Hills.

My magical time-acceleration device strikes again.

Same thing without the flash.

Slightly treacherous path.

Chigusa Tadaaki memorial monument.

Without flash. I can't decide which looks better.

Front of the monument.

Foggy view.

SNK photo booth in the lodge.

Bireley's Orangeful Orange.

View from one side of the lodge.

Feels like SimCity.

One more, I guess.

My bank, my Kinki.

View from the photo point on the other side of the lodge.

Sky's clearing up.

Fog over the distant hills.

Forest town?

Hills.

Moon base. They missed their planned landing site pretty badly.

Fog over the ski slope.

The Protect the Nation Monument, I believe.

A small temple.

The water in the well next to this small shriney thing was believed to have healing powers.

If I understand everything correctly, this is the temple closest to the entrance in the Enryaku-ji complex.

Odd tree.

Temple bell.

Don't be fooled - it's not a pagoda photographed from a great distance.

The bell again.

Fountain.

Fountain and statue.

Large temple building.

Smaller one.

Same one.

Forested mountainside.

The Kaidan-in temple, brought to you by Hitachi. (?)

Kaidan-in has a larger bell which visitors are allowed to ring for a small fee.

Kaidan-in.

Golden Buddha.

More golden Buddhas on the other side.

Relief map of Enryaku-ji.

Statues and lanterns.

The statue looks curiously elven.

There's a crab on the wall. I have no idea where it came from.

Lake Biwa.

Same.

Clouds over the lake.

Another view of Lake Biwa.

It looks a lot warmer than it was.
