About Kyoto

Kyoto, über tausend Jahre Japans Kaiserstadt, ist eine Stadt der Tempel, Gärten, Holzhäuser und verfeinerten Traditionen.

Die Stadt beherbergt viele der kostbarsten Stätten Japans. Tausende zinnoberrote Torii-Tore des Fushimi Inari Taisha steigen einen bewaldeten Berg hinauf, der Goldene Pavillon des Kinkaku-ji schimmert über seinem Teich, und die hölzerne Bühne des Kiyomizu-dera ragt aus dem Hang über der Stadt. Der Felsengarten des Ryoan-ji und das moosbewachsene Gelände des Ginkaku-ji laden zur stillen Betrachtung ein.

Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
