Kyoto is an ancient capital of Japan whose urban functions and culture have been passed down for over 1200 years. Kyoto is also one of Japan’s leading historical cities, with 17 UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites and numerous shrines and temples.
Kyoto City attracts about 50 million tourists each year who are interested in traditional Japanese culture. Popular activities include visiting temples and shrines such as Nijo-jo Castle, Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Kinkaku-ji Temple, seeing the bamboo groves in Arashiyama, staying in traditional ryokan inns, relaxing in rejuvenating onsen hot springs, tasting Japanese sake in Fushimi, and enjoy the seasonal changes of cherry blossoms and brilliant autumn foliage.
Beyond the city, there are many attractive rural areas in Kyoto Prefecture. In the north, Amanohashidate is known as one of three most scenic places in Japan. Miyama, surrounded by mountains, is one of the last towns with thatched-roof farmhouses, many of which are still inhabited. Uji is famous for Japanese matcha green tea.
