About Kyoto

Kyoto, Japans keiserlige hovedstad i over tusen år, er en by av templer, hager, tradisjonelle trehus og raffinerte tradisjoner.

Byen rommer mange av Japans mest verdsatte steder. Fushimi Inari Taishas tusenvis av cinnoberrøde torii-porter klatrer opp et skogkledd fjell, Kinkaku-jis Gylne paviljong skimrer over dammen, og Kiyomizu-deras trescene stikker ut fra åssiden over byen. Steinhagen i Ryoan-ji og de mosegrodde områdene i Ginkaku-ji innbyr til stille ettertanke.

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