Kyoto

Modern culture meets ancient traditions and beauty

Amazing Kyoto

Kyoto is a true embodiment of Old Japan awash with beautiful vestiges of its past glory. Beyond the futuristic Kyoto Station, modern shopping complexes, and sleek luxury hotels, lies a city with celebrated centuries-old wonders, breathtaking temples, serene Zen gardens, narrow cobbled alleyways, bustling markets and a vibrant nightlife.

By effortlessly blending the past and present, Kyoto is poised to be an alluring destination for history buffs and art lovers, gourmands, and outdoor enthusiasts. —Nano Betts

arashiyama

The rolling foothills of Arashiyama are home to the iconic Sagano Bamboo Forest. The verdant grove is accessed via the 14th-century Buddhist temple Tenryu-ji. A unique serenity is experienced from the wind rustling through the soaring trees making a zawa zawa sound and the filtered sunlight filling the space with a tranquil green glow.

Cultral Experiences

As a birthplace of Sado, or Japanese tea ceremony, the historic neighborhoods of Gion and Higashiyama are perfect places to visit machiyas and learn about the ancient art of tea-making. During the ritual performed on a tatami floor by a professional tea master, you'll have a chance to learn about the philosophy and etiquette of drinking tea, as well as master the basics of making matcha.
