About Kyoto

Quioto, capital imperial do Japão durante mais de mil anos, é uma cidade de templos, jardins, casas de madeira e tradições refinadas.

A cidade guarda muitos dos locais mais preciosos do Japão. Os milhares de pórticos torii vermelhões do Fushimi Inari Taisha sobem uma montanha arborizada, o Pavilhão Dourado do Kinkaku-ji cintila sobre o seu lago e o palco de madeira do Kiyomizu-dera sobressai da encosta sobre a cidade. O jardim de rochas do Ryoan-ji e os terrenos cobertos de musgo do Ginkaku-ji convidam à contemplação tranquila.

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