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 cliché hunter.

Kyoto Health and Safety

The western bank of the Kamo-gawa between Sanj-dri can be a little rough on hot summer nights, as can some of the streets around Kiyamachi-dri. Keep your wits about you and try to avoid walking alone at night in these areas.
