Kyoto moves at a slower pace and gives one a fantastic sense of Japanese art, architecture and culture. |
Gion District and other attractions Kyoto is known for its Gion District, where young apprentice maiko are schooled in the arts of the geisha.
Kyoto offers a wealth of Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines and classical Japanese gardens. |  | |
|  | How to explore Kyoto Kyoto is compact enough that a short taxi ride takes you from the thriving city center to lushly wooded hills and scenic walking trails.
A lot of our touring in Kyoto was on foot, which allowed us to explore the quaint neighborhoods and backroads that most tourist would by-pass, and discover nice surprises like small shrines and gardens not found in any tour book.
Another possibility to explore Kyoto is to rent a bike for a small price. It is a wonderful way to see much more of Kyoto and find things which are off the beaten path...
or you travel in a rikscha, which allows you to lead on a comfortable way through the tourist areas of Kyoto. |
