Kyoto

Kyoto, Japan's capital until it was moved to Tokyo in 1868, is considered by many to be Japan's most beautiful city. Only Rome lays claim to more designated Unesco World Heritage Sites than this city nestled amongst the mountains of Western Honshu.

Upcoming Events

Gion Matsuri

01 July 2012 - 31 July 2012

The Gion Matsuri is one of the most famous festivals in Japan. It originated as purification ritual performed to appease the gods, in hopes that they would remove the plague from their land. In modern day practice, this event lasts for the entire month of July; streets are filled with decorative lanterns and lined with food vendors. The festival culminates with the procession of a grand parade marked by its extravagant floats, and sounds of traditional Japanese drums.

Manto Nagashi

15 August 2012

This annual event takes place on Arashiyama Togetsukyo Bridge. It's a ceremony where people write their wishes on lanterns and place them on the river. Some also use this practice to send off their ancestors' spirits.

Daimonji Bonfire Festival

16 August 2012

During this festival, bonfires are lit on Kyoto mountain-sides in the shape of Japanese characters. The lighting of these fires has spiritual significance to some, as the hope is that these symbols will help light the way home for visiting souls.

We both liked our stay there, though the house is a bit cold at times because it's a traditional one. The guy keeping the guesthouse is really nice and helpful. It's close to a busstop and has an easy access to all the tourist attractions and you can rent bikes too. ... more
