About Kyoto

Kyoto, capitale imperiale del Giappone per oltre mille anni, è una città di templi, giardini, case di legno e tradizioni raffinate.

La città custodisce molti dei luoghi più preziosi del Giappone. Le migliaia di portali torii vermigli del Fushimi Inari Taisha salgono su una montagna boscosa, il Padiglione d'Oro del Kinkaku-ji scintilla sul suo stagno e il palco di legno del Kiyomizu-dera sporge dal pendio sopra la città. Il giardino di roccia del Ryoan-ji e i terreni muschiosi del Ginkaku-ji invitano alla contemplazione silenziosa.

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