A few years ago we hiked from Kibune to Kurama in Kyoto. It's about 4.5 miles one way. Not strenuous, but lots of steps and some uneven ground.
It was May, so the restaurants on the river in Kibune were not open yet. Ending at Kurama onsen was a nice way to finish, except it was very hot (90 F) and bright midday light for the outside pools! Cold soba was very refreshing.
