Skip the city crowds and take the Sakamoto cable car up to this massive forest complex. Spend at least three hours wandering; the Konpon Chudo hall is the highlight for that 1,200-year-old eternal flame. The mountain stairs are brutal, so ditch the sandals for legit sneakers. If you want actual history beyond the signage, the $200 private monk’s town tour is worth the splurge. Pack your own water, otherwise, prepare to overpay at every vending machine.
