Explore Ancient Capital Kyoto 5-days

Japan's old capital for many centuries, Kyoto retains to this day the nation's greatest and most glorious concentration of cultural treasures featuring grand palaces, shrines and exquisite gardens. The fact that Kyoto was mercifully exempt from bombings during the Second World War has bequeathed the city a wealth of its cultural heritage - shrines, temples and traditional arts and crafts.

kyoto

The aura of an ancient city is successfully preserved by Kyoto's meticulous city planning that has restrained developers from building skyscrapers and encouraging shops to use subdued colors in the exterior. The majority of shrines and temples are blended harmoniously into the atmosphere that constitutes the Japan of the imagination.

Kyoto

The Real Japan invites guests to visit a contrasting selection of quintessential shrine and temples to visit including the golden-pavilion Kinkaku-ji temple and the sublime Ryoan-ji temple, famous for its rock garden, and the grand Nijo-jo castle.
