If you haven’t been to Kyoto yet, you need to go. It’s the second most visited city on the planet… after Mecca. It is full of World Heritage Sights, geisha, great food, over a thousand Buddhist temples and hundreds of Shinto shrines. In Kyoto you can be wandering around a neon fashion district with high tech shops one minute and discovering an alley way with old wooden houses and lined with red lanterns the next. In Kyoto you can go temple hopping during the day and bar hopping by night. Whether you are after the best of modern Japan or want to see Japan’s more traditional side, you will find it in Kyoto.
This video on youtube is a great first taste of what the city has to offer.
