About 京都
千年以上にわたり日本の都だった京都は、寺院、庭園、木造の町家、洗練された伝統が息づく街です。
この街には日本で最も大切にされている名所の多くがあります。伏見稲荷大社の数千基の朱色の鳥居は森の山を登り、金閣寺は池の上で輝き、清水寺の木造の舞台は街を見下ろす山腹に突き出しています。龍安寺の石庭と苔むした銀閣寺の庭は、静かな思索を誘います。
Top-ranked sights in 京都: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
