Kyoto

Kyoto, with its hundreds of temples and gardens, was the imperial capital between 794 and 1868, and remains the cultural centre of Japan. Its raked pebble gardens, sensuously contoured temple roofs and mysterious Shint shrines fulfill the Japanese fantasy of every Western clichÃ© hunter.

Kyoto Activities

There's an infinite number of things to do in Kyoto besides visiting temples and shrines. In addition to shopping, hiking and people-watching, there are many places to get hands-on experience in traditional arts and crafts. Take your pick of calligraphy, tea ceremonies, flower aranging, or pottery.
