Kyoto was Japan's imperial capital for over a thousand years and remains its cultural heart, with hundreds of temples, shrines and traditional wooden streets. It is also the easiest base for a day trip to nearby Nara.
Kyoto has around 1,600 Buddhist temples, including famous sites such as the golden Kinkaku-ji and the hillside Kiyomizu-dera. A temples tour covers a few of the best-known in one go.
The bamboo grove in Kyoto's Arashiyama district is a path through towering green stalks that sway and creak in the wind. The area also has temples, river views and small shops.
This scenic sightseeing train runs along the Hozu River gorge between Arashiyama and Kameoka. Its slow pace and open-sided carriage show off the valley, especially in spring and autumn colours.
Nara Park is home to hundreds of free-roaming deer, regarded as sacred messengers in local tradition. The park also holds Todai-ji temple, with its giant bronze Buddha.
