The Keage Incline has in recent years captured the attention of visitors as a great sakura (桜, Cherry-blossom) viewing spot that is off-the-beaten path and away from Kyoto’s large crowds. This 582m inclined slope begins near the entrance to Kyoto City Zoo and runs all the way up to the current Keage Station on the Kyoto Subway Tozai Line.
It’s a great area to walk and take in the view, as you walk along the tracks of this former railway.
