Kyoto, Japan

Kyoto Japan

Kyoto, for over a thousand years, served as the capital of Japan and is likely the best-preserved city in the country. It is a beautiful, vibrant city where modern life intersects with traditional Japan. Nestled among the mountains of Western Honshu, Kyoto is an ideal base for exploring the Kansai region. The city is rich in heritage sites and culture, offering a wide variety of restaurants and is relatively easy to navigate. The city's rich culture and heritage are evident in its architecture and customs. Kyoto is home to thousands of temples and shrines, including the stunning golden Kinkaku-ji, Ryoanji with its Zen garden, the popular Kiyomizu-dera, Sanjusangendo with its life-size statues of Kannon, and the more serene Tenryu-ji in Arashiyama. Also located in Arashiyama is the famous Bamboo Grove. A delightful activity in Kyoto is a walking tour of Gion, one of the main Geisha districts, where wooden buildings and lanterns create the perfect ambiance. Kyoto is one of the world's greatest historical cities, filled with temples, shrines, teahouses, and imperial residences. Steeped in culture and heritage, Kyoto is a must-visit for anyone interested in Japanese history and culture.
