Hirakatapark Guesthouse to Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kobe

Fushimi-harbour park This park is near Cyuusyo-jima station of Keihan station. there is a River called Uji-rver south side of the Park , from the harbour small ships went to Osaka till 100years ago. Also there is a big pond named Ogura-Ike southside of Cyuusyo-jima about 70years ago. Ike means pond and Shima means island, So Cyuusyo-jima shuld be a island in old time. Uji-river come from Biwa-lake and flowed into the Oguraike in old time and then flowed into Yodo-river. Ogura-pondo was reclaimed from old time and finally pomp-uped after second war, so now there is a Uodo-river and low level land there.   south end of Biwa-ko cannal ( ko means lake) At here shipps come from Kyoto is step down to lower level of Uji-river and go to Osaka area. Water of the cannal is led from Biwa lake through long cannal arong Yamanashi mountain and  tunnel through mountains constructed 200years ago.

It is hard to stay in each city because of transit with heavy suitcase. Therefore it is better to stay minimum points. For the case I will recommend to stay Hirakata City because of follows. (1)Hirakata city is middle point of Kyoto, Osaka and Nara. So, it is easy to go three cities by Keihan Railway. Also it is easy to go Takatsuki Station of  Japan Railway(JR) and Hankyu Railway by bus because there is a Hirakata big bridge over Yodo river between Hirakata City and Takatsuki City. So, if you stay in Hirakata City , you can go anywhere of most Kinki area by one day trip with only a small shoulder because of Kinki area is relatively narrow area. (2)View points of Kyoto continue along the East mountain range of Kyoto, from north end  Hiei- mountain to south mountain end Uji-Byodouin. And the Keihan Railway runs along the East moutain range. So easy to go view points of East area of Kyoto. Also when you are tired, always any staion of Keihan railway is near from you. (3) Streets
