Japan’s former imperial capital, Kyoto, is unsurprisingly rich in culture and traditions. It features many iconic shrines and temples, such as Kinkaku-ji and Kiyomizu-dera. If you want a glimpse of the city’s imperial history, you can head to Nijō Castle, which used to be the shogun’s residence in the city. You may also explore Kyoto Imperial Palace, where the Imperial Family used to live until 1868. To expand your knowledge of Japanese culture, you may visit different museums. Kyoto National Museum showcases exhibits on local history, while Kyoto International Manga Museum lets you know more about manga. Of course, your trip would not be complete without taking some photos at Fushimi Inari-taisha.
