Kyoto was the original capital of ancient Japan. As a result, Kyoto is a popular destination for people who wish to learn more about Japan's historical culture and architecture.
Some of Kyoto's temples are of such significance that have been registered on the World Heritage List.
Kyoto also has many good spots for viewing the fiery red and golds of the autumn leaves.
One such location would be Kiyomizu Temple, shown in the picture above left.
You can enjoy a trip to Kyoto at any time of the year, but the fall is a particularly beautiful time.
Another highlight of any trip to Kyoto would be a performance from a `Maiko` (a trainee geisha- shown in the picture above right). Dressed in their traditional and meticulously crafted kimonos, Maiko give us a glimpse of Japan's fascinating past.
