Japan's former imperial capital, taken at its own pace
Kyoto rewards a little local knowledge; timing your visit to the right garden or gate makes all the difference. Let's plan it properly.
Message AdamTemple 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.
Walk beneath a thousand vermilion gates at Fushimi Inari
Take tea in a garden built for quiet contemplation
Watch the lantern light come up over Gion at dusk
Wander bamboo groves that seem to glow green at midday
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.
