Kyoto
According to topschoolsintheusa, the old imperial city of Kyoto is one of the most popular destinations for tourists to Japan. The city of 1.5 million in the west of the Japanese main island of Honshu is a real must, especially for fans of Japanese tradition and history. The region’s myriad temples and other famous historical attractions attract millions of locals and tourists from around the world every year. The nearest airport, which is regularly served by major airlines, is Kansai International Airport. This is located about 40 kilometers from Kyoto near the metropolis of Osaka.
Hiroshima
The city in the southwest of the Japanese Peninsula gained notoriety on August 6, 1945. When one hears the name of the city of Hiroshima, one inevitably associates it with the atomic bombing in World War II and the unspeakable suffering and deaths that this nuclear attack caused for the people living there; and even today people suffer as a result of the attack. Not only human lives were destroyed, but also the city’s infrastructure. In the many years that have passed since then, Hiroshima has developed into a cosmopolitan city that can be seen with countless bars and restaurants and cultural offers.
Old Kyoto
For centuries, from 794 to 1868, Kyoto was the capital of Japan and the emperor’s residence. Part of historic Kyoto is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was considered worthy of preservation as early as World War II, because the Americans refrained from bombing the city. Even today, Kyōto is a symbol of ancient Japan, with its numerous historical buildings and the Geishas de Gion district. In addition, however, a very modern Kyoto has emerged that is no less worth seeing.
The old imperial city
The most popular sights are the magnificent buildings of Imperial Kyoto. The former palace of the emperor is located in the spacious grounds of the imperial park. Guided tours in English offer unique insights into the former residence. The Sento Palace, which was built as a resting place for abdicated emperors, is located on the same site.
A showpiece from the heyday of the samurai is the Nijo Fortress, built in the 17th century by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo period. The building of this evidence of the Japanese feudal period is also located in a beautiful park.
The Nijo Jinya is a very special kind of inn. Erected as accommodation for princes during the Edo period, it has trap doors, secret passages and other facilities to ensure the safety of guests.
Temples, shrines and geishas
The golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji is surrounded by green parkland.
Small shops, restaurants and teahouses in traditional Japanese houses are typical of the Gion district. This is the area where most of Kyōto’s geisha, or rather geiko, as they are called here, still work today. Just like in the past you feel in Hanami-koji Street or along the Shirakawa Canal.
