Enjoy A Glimpse Into History On Kyoto Sightseeing Tours

Formerly the Imperial Capital of Japan, Kyoto still maintains its status as one of the most important and interesting cities in all of Japan. With a population just under 1.5 million people, it remains one of the cultural centers of the country and is a major part of the Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto metropolitan area.

With more than 2,000 religious places (1,600 Buddhist temples and 400 Shinto shrines), people taking a tour of Kyoto are likely to see a city that, unlike many other cities in Japan, has remained untouched since pre-World War II. During the war, the United States decided to focus little attention on the city, leaving many of its buildings intact from before the war, giving people taking a trip to Kyoto a unique opportunity to view historical monuments and shrines from a time not many other cities can offer.

Visit the city that’s been called the second most attractive city in Japan in a regional brand survey and indulge in many of the traditional crafts that are a major industry of the city. Purchase a kimono from one of the many merchants who weave them by hand in the city and then take a sip of sake from the breweries that make up Kyoto’s traditional industry.

Kyoto vacations are a great way to take part in some of Japan’s oldest and most historic sites. Make sure to book your tour today and enjoy the sightseeing tour of a lifetime with AsiaImpressions!
