| The Kyoto Trail | |
In 1989, Kyoto City developed "Plan of Healthy Kyoto City" in order to promote Kyoto citizens' health.
The project of the Kyoto Trail was set up in order for Kyoto citizens to be healthier and to have more opportunities to experience beautiful natural landscape and historic heritages and cultural assets located at the foot of mountains that encircle Kyoto Basin.
In 1991, evening paper of The Kyoto Shimbun widely reported that Kyoto City and Kyoto Alpine League started a study project for trail path on which Kyoto citizens in any generation could enjoy hiking with families, and the citizens raised their interest and expectation toward the trail.
In May 1993, the Trail was opened starting with Higashiyama Course. And now, not only Japanese but also people from abroad are visiting the Trail.
The Trail has been maintained by the KYOTO TRAIL Association structured by Kyoto City, Kyoto City Tourism Association, Keihan Electric Railway Co.,Ltd., Hankyu Railway, West JR Bus Company, Kyoto City Transportation Bureau, KINKI・CHUGOKU Regional Forest Office Kyoto Osaka Office, Keihoku Community Association and the Kyoto Alpine League. | |
