As Japan’s imperial capital for over a millennium, Kyoto remains the Japan's cultural heart and its best preserved major city. Framed by mountains and forests, this vibrant metropolis evokes a sense of deep history blended with contemporary life.
Kyoto’s heritage reveals itself in every wooden façade and time-honoured custom. The city boasts thousands of temples and shrines: the shimmering pavilion of Kinkaku-ji, the famous rock garden at Ryoan-ji, the soaring timbered terraces of Kiyomizu-dera, and Sanjusangendo’s striking collection of life-sized Kannon statues. In western Arashiyama, the serene grounds of Tenryu-ji sit beside the iconic, towering Bamboo Grove.

Rich in teahouses, imperial residences, and world-class dining, Kyoto is an unmissable sanctuary for those seeking the true depth of Japanese history and refinement.
