Kyoto the City to Fall in Love with |
Travel Japan
to get to know its
Imperial capital of Kyoto! It's one of the oldest cities in the country
and is the main metropolis on the Island of Honshu. Former
being Heiankyo, later it became the capital city, that's the
literal meaning of Kyoto and was the Imperial capital till 1868 when Tokyo
became the state's capital. It's worth mentioning that the city's being
capital influenced its development greatly, because here we can see
great cultural, educational and economic infrastructures.
Truth be told today there could have been no city of Kyoto, because the
US government at the end of the World War II could have bombed it as
well as Nagasaki and Hiroshima were, but the city was rescued by its
beauty as one of the most excellent and best places in Japan.
It should be born in mind that lots of exciting events are
held
in the city and it's one more factor to travel Japan. Be sure
not
to miss anything, because each holiday, festival and carnival has its
old history and unforgettable celebration. e.g. If you travel
Japan and turn out to be in Kyoto in March you are welcome to take part
in the Sakura parade, the River of Kudari raft run, the Hina Matsuri
Festival, the dolls exhibition. Don't forget to visit
Myoshin-ji,
Jojakko-ji, Zuishim-ji Temples, Imperial Palace of Kyoto, and
revel in the national holidays when all the temples and shrines will be
adorned with flowers, the time can be called city flourishing. History
is highly honoured in Japan and there is a beautiful and impressive
festival in Kyoto devoted to its ancient past.
Kyoto is rich in diversity that can be seen everywhere. There
is
a pre-war building borders on the futuristic constructions, that's a
typical feature of various Japanese
architecture. The longstanding city is also famous for its
geishas, wonderful kimonos
(actually the city is the heart of its producing) and various arts and
crafts.
Travel Japan and familiarize yourself with its ancient traditions, tea
ceremonies and hospitable people!
