"Insider's Tour Guide" Old capital Kyoto-Japan




Insider's Tour to Kyoto









 Kyoto is an old capital of Japan. The Emperor lived in Kyoto until the 19th century. Then, he moved to Tokyo.There are two reasons for Kyoto's old culture. Kyoto became the capital in the eighth century and was the center of Japanese culture for a very long time. Also, Kyoto was not targeted for bombing during the Second World War, so we can still enjoy the many old buildings, gardens and art work.
    Kyoto is a big city and has many modern buildings too. But if you spend some time there, you will see many beautiful historic sites.
