Kyoto
Japan
Lantern-lit lanes, moss gardens and centuries-old craft traditions.
Why travellers love it
Kyoto is a city for noticing details: temple gardens, tea houses, seasonal food and quiet early-morning walks.
When to consider going
Spring blossoms and autumn colours draw many visitors; winter and early summer can be quieter.
Planning notes
Popular sites can be busy. Thoughtful timing makes a real difference.
