Kyoto is surrounded by mountains to the north, east, and west.
Here you can see the western perimeter mountains to the left that Kyoto’s Arashiyama and Sagano neighborhoods are nestled up against, as well as the mountains that angle off to the north to mark the upper boundaries of the city.

If you look closely, in the distance you can see the girls in kimono from the previous photo.
