Overview

Once Japan’s imperial capital, Kyoto is one of the most beloved travel destinations in the country. Known for its historic temples, elegant streets, and deep cultural traditions, Kyoto offers a slower, more reflective side of Japan. You can stroll through peaceful gardens, enjoy a cup of matcha in a teahouse, and explore neighborhoods filled with wooden townhouses. Whether you’re visiting in cherry blossom season or during the vivid fall colors, Kyoto’s beauty is unforgettable.
