You can see all the way down to your neighborhood, and out across Keage as well. Two ways to get there: From the hotel front, go right and go up the big parking ramp that curves around to the side of the hotel. Don't worry, a lot of people are walking this way. There is a big parking area with another hotel entrance. Keep walking past this on the access road between the hotel and the cemetery, up past the wedding chapel almost to the swanky private villas. As you approach the villas, the trail begins on your right. There are walking sticks if you want that authentic Japanese retiree look, but the walk past a little shrine and mushroom cultivation areas is not strenuous. Oh yeah, you can also walk through the lobby, past the glass waterfall to the elevators on the right, go to the 7th floor, go right down the hallway and go all the way to the back of the hotel (with a little zig-zag to the right, I think). The hotel is on a mountainside, so the 7th floor is ground level in the back, coming out right across from the chapel. Say two Hail Marys and the trail starts up the hill to your left. <span class='jfriedl'>Thanks, Nils, for the suggestion. <a href='http://regex.info/blog/2007-05-11/452' rel="nofollow">I made the trip</a> —Jeffrey</span> As long as you are over there, you should go up the bird sanctuary trail behind the Miyako Hotel for more views.
