The erstwhile imperial capital of Japan, Kyoto is soaked in Japanese history and traditions yet juxtaposed with the modern, bustling city centre with towering buildings and the complex yet efficient train system. The traditional wood homes, zen gardens, and authentic Geishas coupled with the fact that it plays host to 2000 sacred temples and shrines including 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites contrasts with the image you build about the modern and ultra-tech Japan as an outsider. Whether your style is independent vacation rentals or swanky hotels, Kyoto has it all but why not experience the comfort of a hotel with the privacy and space of a vacation rental? Get the best of both worlds and check out these serviced apartments in Kyoto, Japan.

It’s also a great destination for those looking to see snowfall in Southeast Asia. Also, never pass up the opportunity to try the must-eat foods in Kyoto so you never forget the place.
