Visiting Kyoto
Japan's former imperial capital, with thousands of temples and shrines, preserved geisha districts, and some of the country's most photographed gardens. It was largely spared bombing in WWII, so much of its historic architecture survives intact.
Best time to visit: March to April for cherry blossoms or November for autumn foliage — both are peak season, so book well ahead.
Landmarks & highlights
- Fushimi Inari Shrine
Famous for its thousands of vermillion torii gates climbing the hillside behind the shrine.
- Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion)
A Zen temple whose top two floors are covered in gold leaf, reflected in its surrounding pond.
- Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
A towering bamboo forest path on the city's western edge.
- Gion District
Kyoto's famous geisha district, with preserved wooden machiya houses and teahouses.
Local tip: Visit the most famous sites (Fushimi Inari, Kinkaku-ji) at opening time — both get extremely crowded by mid-morning.
Getting around: Kyoto's sights are spread across the city, so a combination of buses, trains, and taxis usually works better than trying to walk between districts.
Good to know: Photographing geisha or maiko without permission, especially in Gion's private lanes, is discouraged and increasingly restricted — always ask first or photograph from public streets.
