Kyoto is the very first place to where all the foreign tourists think of going. The capital city is Kyoto (京都), and since Emperors, Japanese King, lived for nearly 1000 years, this is where what-is-called Japanese culture was born, and the city is attracting not only foreign tourists but also Japanese.
The whole city is preserved by a strict conservation law. Even in the outskirts area, there a lot of nomadic and touristic sites await you.
