Kyoto Vacation Packages


Kyoto, 'The City of Ten Thousand Shrines,' was the Imperial Capital of Japan for most of its history, dating back as far as the 6th century. It is the cradle of Japan's historical inheritance, a living museum of great artistic heritage. Nestled among the mountains in the central valley of the island of Honshu, Kyoto is where visitors discover the Japan of their imagination. Picturesque streets defined by wooden buildings and traditional teahouses, over 2000 Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, as well as palaces, sublime gardens and magnificent architecture. This enchanting city almost seems frozen in time as the city's geisha shuffle between teahouses dressed in exquisite kimonos; and Kyoto's gastronomy is considered the pinnacle of sophistication, combining visual beauty, subtle taste and restraint, including aspects of ikebana (flower arrangement) and sado (tea ceremony). Kyoto is one of the best places in Japan to view the fall foliage and the famous cherry blossoms.
