Japan is an enchanting country that captivates visitors with its unique cultural traditions, stunning natural landscapes, and thriving urban hubs. One city that stands out for its charm and beauty is Kyoto. Located in central Japan, this city is a hub of traditional Japanese culture, with an abundance of world heritage sites and tucked-away gems off the beaten path.

On a visit to Kyoto, you’ll want to start by exploring its beautiful temples and shrines, such as Kinkaku-ji, Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the breathtaking Kiyomizu-dera. Immerse yourself in the city’s rich cultural traditions by trying on a kimono, attending a tea ceremony or sake tasting, and wandering through the narrow streets of old neighborhoods like Gion or Pontocho.

Meanwhile, Kyoto also offers a veritable feast for foodies, with an array of local specialties ranging from tofu and matcha green tea to wagyu beef and kaiseki multi-course meals. Be sure to try some of the famous street food offerings, such as yatsuhashi sweets, takoyaki octopus balls, and okonomiyaki savory pancakes.

Finally, make time to discover some of the lesser-known treasures that make Kyoto truly special. Stroll through the scenic Philosopher’s Path in Higashiyama, or take a bike ride through the tranquil bamboo groves of Arashiyama. Visit some of the city’s lesser-known temples and shrines, such as the hidden gem of Honen-in or the unusual Heian Shrine, with its colorful gardens and impressive torii gate.
