Kyoto: Discovering the traditional Japan

We all know about Tokyo, the current capital of Japan, but it’s not that common to speak about Kyoto. I visited Kyoto last summer during my journey around the most important cities in Japan. I really loved all of the places I had visited but Kyoto was my favorite by far.

Kyoto is known for having more than one hundred temples around the city. The most important ones are Ginkakujin, Kinkakujin and Fushimi Inari-Taisha. All of these temples are surrounded by forests and gardens that are perfectly maintained. Also, if you travel to Kyoto, you have to go to Gion. Gion is the street that keeps best its traditional looks. On this street you can find tea shops, art expositions and even if you’re lucky enough you might see a geisha!

If you’re looking for a place that holds its Japanese tradition, you need to go to Kyoto! You will love it!
