Kyoto Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Kyoto – long considered one of Japan’s most beautiful cities. From its temples to its modern delights, check out the top sights of Kyoto.

Once the capital of the nation, #Kyoto is now an ultra-modern haven that retains a great deal of its ancient charm. To see some of this long-established glamour, make your way to Kyoto Tower. #Visit Gion, an entertainment quarter and home to many of Kyoto’s famous geishas.

During your #vacation, see the Sannen-zaka and Ninen-zaka districts, where cars are prohibited and traditional teahouses and temples adorn the nearby landscape. #Explore the great open plazas of the Haian Shrine or spend a quiet moment in the Shorenin Temple and its beautiful gardens.

The most famous of Kyoto’s temples is Fushimi Inari-taisha, a stunning red complex that sprawls over Mount Inari. A hike to the summit takes about two hours and will lead you through thousands of colorful sub-shrines and thick, ancient forest. Once you’re at the top, you’ll have a stunning view of Kyoto.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Japan is a really beautiful country. A must visit

Kyoto is one of the most beautiful city which I traveled in Japan. Everything is true in this video. However, I didn't visit to Bamboo Forest. It was a pity. I didn't say goodbye to Japan because people said that: "If you say goodbye to sth or someone, it means you won't come back". So I decided not to say it. See you again, Japan - my dream country. From Vietnam !

I am going to Japan in two weeks. Originally, I wanted to go to Kyoto just see the bamboo forest and monkeys :) But now I guess I'll spend more time there.

The creator and video maker of this video should get a price. Every Video you do is so perfect :)

This was really helpful since I'm going to University in Kyoto.

This vídeo is breath-taking. Made me feel so good that I decided to spend 4 straight days in the city to explore as many shrines possible!
