J.E.E Earth Day Hike: Sunday April 23, 2017

This year's Earth Day Hike will be in Uji, south of Kyoto.
Destination: We will climb Mt Butoku (also known as Daikichi-yama, 131m) and nearby Asahi-yama (126m): a very easy climb, walking perhaps 5km.
On the way we will pass through Ujigami Shrine (a World Heritage site), from the top we will see the view of Uji River and Byodo-in, and on the way down, we will pass Koshoji, a Zen temple. After the hike we may have time to visit Byodo-in, which dates all the way back to the Heian period (it's on the back of the 10 yen coin) and its famous wisteria vine, and excellent museum.

Meeting point: Demcahi-yanagi Keihan station, near ticket machines (downstairs, Keihan line). We plan to meet at 9:50 and take the train at 10:10.
We will change trains at Chushojima for the Keihan Uji line to Keihan-Uji Station, arriving 10:47.
Return transportation cost; 780 yen
Byodo-in admission: 600 yen (if we have time, and if people want to visit)

Things to bring: Lunch, drink, and a bag for trail clean-up
Raincheck: If light rain, OK; cancelled if heavy rain
