Kyoto 京都

Kyoto is well-known for its scenery. Beautiful in all four seasons, there is no wrong time to visit this city. Spring stuns with all the famous cherry blossom paths. Have noodles served through bamboo and on a river during summertime near Kifune-jinja. In the fall, enjoy visiting temples in their autumn foliage. Winter is for relaxation as it is the quietest time to visit Kyoto.

Kyoto is part of the Kansai region, where other major cities such as Osaka and Nara are located. The major cities are linked by trains and bus networks using JR lines or local companies.
