Hiei. This is one of the most important sites in Kyoto's history, and is a UNESCO world heritage site. Once you get away from the main temples, which are crowded with package tourists, there are some lovely walks to old temples that are rarely visited yet are much more beautiful and atmosperic than the more popular ones in the main area. Hieizan is beautiful, but the Shukubo is rather expensive, the food is mediocre, and the building itself it faux-Japanese so a stay here is not recommended.
