Once the capital of Japan for over a thousand years, Kyoto today is world-famous for the sheer amount of Japanese history one can find there. The city is a treasure trove of historic temples, shrines, and traditional wooden houses. Among its most iconic landmarks are the Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), known for its stunning reflection in the surrounding pond; Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates; and the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, offering a serene and picturesque walk through towering bamboo stalks. Kyoto is also celebrated for its traditional tea ceremonies, where visitors can experience the art of Japanese tea preparation and presentation. And seasonal festivals like the Gion Matsuri, with its elaborate floats and street processions, highlight Kyoto’s vibrant cultural traditions.
