Kyoto

The intricate cityscape of old Japan and lively bustle as a modern metropolis make no two days in Kyoto alike. One day’s walk might lead you pass an elaborate temple, while a turn the next day will treat you to shopping sprees at a trendy clothing boutique. As if its’ mix of old and new haven’t already created a city of endless exploration, Kyoto’s culture and make-up changes along with the season; everything from the bakery’s sweets to geisha’s wigs reflect the shifting weather.
Any good Kyoto tour guide will note there’s no better way to see the ever-changing physicality than via bicycle, as the city’s bike paths are extremely user-friendly. If two-wheels seems unappealing, Kyoto’s advanced public transportation system makes getting around easy- just make sure you get around. Whether you opt for a hiking excursion in the surrounding mountains, pursue a flower arranging class with a local Kado specialist, or enjoy a traditional tea ceremony, engulf yourself in this soothing and enticing city’s culture for an unforgettable travel experience.
