Kyoto, Japan


Kyoto served as Japan's capital and the emperor's residence from 794 until 1868. It is now the country's seventh largest city. It is very famous about the history and cukture. The "Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto" are listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Includes Kyō-ō-Gokokuji (Tō-ji),Kiyomizu-dera, Daigo-ji, Ninna-ji, Saihō-ji (Kokedera),Tenryū-ji, Rokuon-ji (Kinkaku-ji), Jishō-ji (Ginkaku-ji),Ryōan-ji, Hongan-ji, Kōzan-ji and the Nijo Castle, theKamo Shrines (Kami and Shimo)

Kiyomizu-dera is best known for its wooden stage that juts out from its main hall, 13 meters above the hillside below. The stage affords visitors a nice view of the numerous cherry and maple trees below that erupt in a sea of color in spring and fall, as well as of the city of Kyoto in the distance.

Hidden in a slim, four-story building that at first glance looks more like a modern apartment building than a hotel, the seven rooms at the intimate Hotel Mume near Gion have all been designed around the traditional nature-inspired concept of "ka-cho-fu-getsu" (bird, butterfly, wind, moon). The Wind rooms are bright, spacious and accented with Asian motifs; Butterfly are defined by their black walls and rich red antique Chinese furnishings; Moon are based around rich golden tones and dark woods.
Issian Pontocho in Kyoto would be the most famous restaurant for tourists, especially foreigners, famous for romance, local cuisine, special occasions, and entertaining clients. People can have a good and relax time there, and service is also very good.
