Once capital of Japan, KYOTO has a charm of its own. A quaint and small city it is easily accessible by bullet train (shinkansen) from Tokyo (the present-day capital of Japan). Historically, Kyoto is the seat of power for the imperial family and rulers. Consequently, many of the most beautiful architecture of Japan are located around this city. To truly experience Kyoto is to go with an open mind and absorb all it has to offer while you are there; the Zen spirit found in its many garden & temples and the simplistic form of those temples. With many fond memories of Kyoto I pray to be able to visit again!

Kyoto is such a great place. Too bad I do not have time for the Imperial Palace. I will go back there for the cherry blossom. Thanks for sharing. | aussiedoug Wed Jan 14, 2004 13:08 UTC
Great Tips Sharrie. We were in Kyoto during our honeymoon (b4 4 weeks in the U.S.A.) & also stayed at the New Miyaki Hotel. Kinkaku Ji really is special |
