About the Breeding Birds (Mt. Hiei)

These are the many kinds of birds that raise their young in the forests of Mt. Hiei, straddling Shiga and Kyoto Prefectures. Because the mountain has long been protected as sacred ground, its forests still support diverse wild birds. The breeding area of the whole mountain is protected.
