Once the capital of Japan, Kyoto remains one of the destinations most beloved by people who travel to the far-eastern nation.<\/p>\n

Famous for its culture and beauty, this city provides the perfect introduction to hundreds of years of Japanese history, thanks to the fact many of its ancient buildings are among the most well-preserved in the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Kyoto, tourists can find a whopping 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a massive temple overlooking the Southern Higashiyama sightseeing district, and the Nijo-jo Castle, a special destination for people who want to soak into the ancient power of the samurai.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many of Kyoto’s historic sites are immersed in nature, including the Katsura Imperial Villa, which over the centuries left many speechless for its beauty.<\/p>\n

Among them, internet user Violetvz wrote on the travel website Tripadvisor: “The tranquillity and beauty of this villa will make you want to sit on the grass and just relax in the atmosphere – beautiful.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

With more than 400 Shinto shrines and 1600 Buddhist temples to visit, this city offers a unique spiritual experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
