Kyoto, Japan

Kyoto is a city located in the central part of the island of Honshu, Japan. It has a population close to 1.5 million. Formerly the imperial capital of Japan for more than one thousand years, it is today one of the most visited cities in Japan and one that has perfectly preserved all those years. About 20% of Japan's National Treasures and 14% of Important Cultural Properties exist in Kyoto with 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kyoto together forming the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto (Kyoto, Uji and Otsu Cities). From golden pavilions, to a hall with 1000 statues of Buddha and a 1000 armed Buddha, to a festival that covers 1200 years of history, to an abstract rock garden, to a stage from which people jumped to prove innocence, this is the must see city in Japan.
