About Kyoto

Kyoto, capitale impériale du Japon pendant plus de mille ans, est une ville de temples, de jardins, de maisons de bois et de traditions raffinées.

La ville abrite bon nombre des sites les plus précieux du Japon. Les milliers de portiques torii vermillon du Fushimi Inari Taisha grimpent une montagne boisée, le Pavillon d'or du Kinkaku-ji miroite sur son étang, et la terrasse en bois du Kiyomizu-dera avance depuis le flanc de la colline au-dessus de la ville. Le jardin de rocaille du Ryoan-ji et les terrains moussus du Ginkaku-ji invitent à la contemplation tranquille.

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