In 1994, Hieizan, including Enryaku-ji Temple, was registered as a World Heritage Site as a "cultural asset of the ancient city of Kyoto", and the temple has been in charge of the protection of the city since the Heian period. Located in the mountains of Mt. Hiei, “L’Hotel de Hiei” offers a relaxing stay, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and feeling the breath of the World Heritage Site.
