Kyoto
Old Japan, where every street tells a story
WHY
Kyoto
Once the imperial capital, Kyoto is the soul of traditional Japan. Walk beneath thousands of vermilion torii gates, find stillness in moss-carpeted Zen gardens, and glimpse geisha in the lantern-lit lanes of Gion. In spring the cherry blossoms fall like snow; in autumn the maples blaze red.

About The Destinations
Once the imperial capital, Kyoto is the soul of traditional Japan. Behind its modern surface lies a city of a thousand shrines, moss-carpeted gardens and wooden machiya houses where centuries-old rituals still shape daily life.
Walk beneath endless vermilion torii gates, find stillness in a Zen rock garden, and glimpse a geiko in the lantern-lit lanes of Gion. In spring the cherry blossoms fall like snow; in autumn the maples blaze red. Kyoto rewards those who slow down.
