If you’re planning a trip to Japan, Kyoto in Japan is probably the main reason<\/strong> you’re so excited about it. The former capital is exactly the kind of destination where your image of traditional Japan, with wooden temples and blooming cherry trees, becomes reality.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through 18 tips for the most beautiful places in Kyoto<\/strong> that you definitely shouldn’t miss. On top of that, I’ll add practical advice on transport, tips on fantastic vegetarian food<\/strong>, and show you where to base yourself strategically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
