2. Kyoto :

Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan (from the 8th to the 19th centuries), is located in the Kansai region, in the center of Honshu, the main island of the Japanese archipelago. The city, which was first attacked by the atomic bomb, is believed to have been “saved” by an American war veteran (who lives near Moonlight) and an archaeologist (who insists on owning his heritage). Today Kyoto has become the “city of a thousand temples” and is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in Japan.  This is the most visited places in Kyoto :

  • Fushimi Inari Shrine: This shrine is a must-see, recognized for its thousands of red torii gates.
  • Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion): A magnificent gold-leafed Zen Buddhist temple.
  • Arashiyama Bamboo Grove: Take a stroll in this tranquil bamboo forest for a very wonderful
    adventure.
