It’s also one of the most beautiful, with a seemingly endless array of traditional Japanese architecture. The city is home to the country’s most famous geisha district, Gion, as well as some of the best shopping in Japan. There’s something for everyone in Kyoto, from the history buffs to the fashionistas. Be sure to sample the city’s world-famous cuisine while you’re there, especially the kaiseki ryori, a multi-course meal that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds.
