Tokyo may be Japan's capital city, but Kyoto is the undisputed cultural center. Home to the Imperial Family for over 1,000 years before the Meiji emperor upped and moved to Tokyo in 1868, you could easily fill a week's holiday in Kyoto just with trips to the 2,000-plus temples and shrines built during its Imperial years. Add to that the raked pebble gardens, the tea rooms, the immaculately presented cuisines -all set against a modern, neon-lit Japanese backdrop- and you have a city that represents the Japan of past and present like no other.If possible, avoid summer in Kyoto and the muggy heat that can make the city a real challenge, and book for when the pink cherry blossom signals the arrival of spring and engulfs many of the city's World Heritage sites, or October-November, when a blanket of autumnal hues color the city and combine with typically clear skies and pleasant temperatures.
