Kyoto - Hieizan and bicycle

Can I bring a bicycle in the Eizan Cablecar and Eizan Ropeway

No bicycle are allowed,you must respect oth er passenger in your travel cablecar, ropeway

Note that in general you cannot bring a bicycle into public transport (trains etc) without it being in a bag. There are a few train lines dotted around the country that allow you to bring a gnakedh bicycle but these are the rare exceptions.

Regarding this cable car , I agree with PP that you canft bring a bike and I would think that even in a bag it would be very unlikely.

Plus what are you going to do with the bike on top of Hieizan?

This person did try (and gsucceedh) to ride up by bike to Hieizan but it doesnft sound like fun. She /he was able to ride down by cable car but I think only because it was a foldable bike in a bag and probably the cable car employees took pity on her/him

As far as I am aware there is no possibility to ride up/down from Hieizan. The road that goes up is closed for bicycles unfortunately. This person posted a video with a ride. But actually leave the bike at the base station of the cable car.

Thanks for your kind reply. I will make my trip to Hieizan as a hike.

And big thanks for the nice video. I really look forward the visit Japan again the first 3 weeks in April.
And especially the nothern part of Kyoto. With Hieizan, Kurama and Lake Biwa.

In case you are considering riding a bike around Kyoto there are a lot of great places. Obviously there is Biwako but also northern Kyoto has nice mountain roads on offer. Maybe my blog can give you some ideas.

we cycled there from Kyoto by riverside last year, and left bikes in the station. Nothing to do with bike in top.
