See our full choice of holiday visits to Kyoto in Japan:
Kyoto, Japan’s most historically important town, is the country’s sightseeing capital, packed with numerous Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, imperial palaces, gardens and traditional wooden homes, all well preserved and presenting a charming picture of traditional Japanese culture. The city lies in the mid-western Kansai district on the island of Honshu, surrounded by plains full of rice paddies, completing its old-world feel.
Kyoto is Japan’s premier destination for historical sightseeing and tourists keen to sniff out traditional Japanese culture will love the city. The attractions of Kyoto are numerous but they are also spread out all over the place and sometimes take some finding. The positive aspect of the requirement to explore is the attendant joy of stumbling upon unexpected treasures and attractions in the charming backstreets of Kyoto. The best way to experience this city is to get lost in it. Kyoto is a city of temples, shrines and gardens and there are lots to see and do. Sightseeing highlights include the Geisha neighbourhood of Gion, the stunning Kiyomizu-Dera, the Fushimi Inari Shrine, the Kyoto Imperial Palace and the temple of Sanjusangen-do. There are also a number of worthwhile attractions just outside of the city, including the Golden Pavilion and its beautiful gardens.
