About Kioto
Kioto, capital imperial de Japón durante más de mil años, es una ciudad de templos, jardines, casas de madera y tradiciones refinadas.
La ciudad guarda muchos de los lugares más apreciados de Japón. Los miles de pórticos torii bermellón del Fushimi Inari Taisha ascienden por una montaña boscosa, el Pabellón Dorado del Kinkaku-ji reluce sobre su estanque y la plataforma de madera del Kiyomizu-dera sobresale de la ladera sobre la ciudad. El jardín de rocas del Ryoan-ji y los terrenos cubiertos de musgo del Ginkaku-ji invitan a la contemplación tranquila.
Top-ranked sights in Kioto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
