Kyoto Travel

Kyoto isn't one of Japan's largest cities but it is incredibly popular with domestic and international visitors. The low set city has retained so much of it's heritage in its architecture, the staggering number of temples and shrines, geisha districts, a picturesque river to stroll along, a historic castle complex and Imperial palace, stunning gardens and so many more must see attractions.

It's also a fantastic base if you want to explore more of Kyoto and beyond on day trips.
