About Kyoto

Kyoto, Japans kejserlige hovedstad i over tusind år, er en by af templer, haver, traditionelle træhuse og raffinerede traditioner.

Byen rummer mange af Japans mest værdsatte steder. Fushimi Inari Taishas tusindvis af cinnoberrøde torii-porte klatrer op ad et skovklædt bjerg, Kinkaku-jis Gyldne Pavillon skimrer over sin dam, og Kiyomizu-deras træscene stikker ud fra skråningen over byen. Stenhaven i Ryoan-ji og de mosdækkede grunde i Ginkaku-ji inviterer til stille eftertanke.
