Discover Kyoto Holidays

Enjoying a central location on Japan's main island, Kyoto was first settled in the 7th century and was the nation's capital from 794AD to 1868. As a result of its history and subsequent preservation, Kyoto is home to many of the 'typical' images of Japan and ranks as one of the world's most culturally rich places, boasting 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites and more than 2000 temples and shrines.

Exuding the traditions that make Japan such a cherished destination, Kyoto displays ageless beauty within its tranquil parks and timeless streets. Witness the sakura season as a sea of pink cherry blossom blankets Kyoto's parks or stroll past traditional wooden houses in the Gion district.
