'Kiyotaki', a gorgeous kinton sweet in shades of green. It was inspired by the valley that runs between Takao and Arashiyama, an area famed for its clear river and maple trees.
Kiyotaki's mountain river is a popular spot for swimming in Summer.
The broad stone steps that climb up to Jingo-ji's main gate are framed by maple trees, offering dazzling colours in summer and autumn.

What treat to have for 'Mountain Day'?
The stretch of river between Mt Takao and Mt Atago is one of my favourite places in Kyōto, and Kameya Yoshinaga (亀屋良長) have crafted a gorgeous kinton, 'Kiyotaki' (清滝), named after the local area.
