Access
If hiking, the trailhead that leads up the west side of Kinugasa Mountain (433m) is about 25 minutes' walk from Azuchi Station, or about 10 minutes from the nearby Azuchi Castle Archaeology Museum and the Nobunaga Hall. The trail leads up the west side of the mountain, first to the ancient temple Kuwanomi-dera (桑実寺), then through a forest of Japanese cedars and up the slope to Kannonji Castle site. From the main courtyard, there is a trail leading on to Kannonsho-ji, a temple with an impressive panoramic view of the area.
If driving, there are two roads that lead up the mountain. One road follows a spur on the southwest slope, and is accessed near the Nakasendo Highway (National Highway 8) in Azuchi. The other leads up the eastern slope, and can be found near Route 202 off the Nakasendo Highway in the neighboring town of Gokasho. Both roads leads up to Kannonsho-ji, a few minutes' walk from Kannonji Castle ruins.

Famous quotes containing the word access:
“A girl must allow others to share the responsibility for care, thus enabling others to care for her. She must learn how to care in ways appropriate to her age, her desires, and her needs; she then acts with authenticity. She must be allowed the freedom not to care; she then has access to a wide range of feelings and is able to care more fully.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“The nature of women’s oppression is unique: women are oppressed as women, regardless of class or race; some women have access to significant wealth, but that wealth does not signify power; women are to be found everywhere, but own or control no appreciable territory; women live with those who oppress them, sleep with them, have their children—we are tangled, hopelessly it seems, in the gut of the machinery and way of life which is ruinous to us.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
