Kyoto, formerly the imperial capital of Japan is the capital of Kyoto Prefecture in the central part of the island of Honshu, Japan. Kyoto is also a major part of the Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto metropolitan area. Spared from the air raids of World War II due to its historical value, Kyoto is the cultural hub of Japan filled with numerous temples (over 1600), shrines (over 400), a castle, geisha, maiko, and many more other fascinating structures and items of history.
Kyoto is where the traditional culture of Japan is stored and preserved within its 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites. It is a true modern day Paris, London and Rome fused with the echoes of ancient civilisation and the advancement of a 21st century. This is the place to come to be humbled, awed, and inspired.
