Fushimi Castle
伏見城
At a glance
A striking reconstruction of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's castle on Momoyama Hill, painted in white and gold overlooking southern Kyoto. The castle itself is a modern rebuild but the hilltop setting, the views, and the near-total absence of tourists make it worth the climb.
Getting there
Kintetsu Momoyama Station or JR Momoyama Station, then a 20-minute walk uphill.
Best time to visit
Morning or afternoon, clear days best for views

¥0–500
