Temple bells, quiet gardens and a city that still moves to an older rhythm. Kyoto is Japan slowed right down, and it's better for it.

About Kyoto

Getting to know Kyoto

Kyoto was Japan's imperial capital for over a thousand years, and much of that history is still visible in its temples, gardens and old wooden streets. Unlike Tokyo's pace, Kyoto asks you to slow down: gardens are built to be sat with, tea is prepared with real ceremony, and entire neighbourhoods still look much as they did generations ago. It's a city that gives back in proportion to the time you're willing to spend in it.
