About Kyoto

Kyoto, Japans kejserliga huvudstad i över tusen år, är en stad av tempel, trädgårdar, traditionella trähus och förfinade traditioner.

Staden rymmer många av Japans mest älskade platser. Fushimi Inari Taishas tusentals röda torii-portar klättrar uppför ett skogsklätt berg, Kinkaku-jis Gyllene paviljong skimrar över sin damm, och Kiyomizu-deras träscen skjuter ut från sluttningen ovanför staden. Stenträdgården i Ryoan-ji och de mossbeväxta markerna i Ginkaku-ji inbjuder till stilla begrundan.

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