Itā€™s fair to say that when you think of Japan: geisha disappearing into hidden doorways, Zen pebble gardens, bamboo groves, and incense-filled serene temples, your imagination will be realised in Kyoto!

It is the epicentre of traditional culture in Japan and with 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites, more than 1600 Buddhist temples and over 400 Shinto shrines, Kyoto is also one of the worldā€™s most culturally rich cities. Fair comparisons can be made with Paris, London and Rome as one of those must see world cities and it is also fair to say that it really must be included on any visit to Japan, whether for the first time visitor or even if you have been to Japan countless times. There is always something new to discover in Kyoto!
