Today I will introduce one of my favorite cities, Kyoto is a beautiful city, clean and rich in culture. One of the best cities in my opinion. Why do I like this city? This city reminds my love for someone. A woman who has gone forever. (Very sad). But we will not discuss it, we will discuss the beauty of the city.
Kyoto is the capital city of Kyoto Prefecture, located in the Kansai region of Japan. In Japanese, Kyoto was previously called Kyō, Miyako, or Kyō no Miyako. In the 11th century, the city was renamed Kyoto.
Japan's Spiritual Heart
This is a city of some 2000 temples and shrines: a city of true masterpieces of religious architecture, such as the retina-burning splendour of Kinkaku-ji (the famed Golden Pavilion) and the cavernous expanse of Higashi Hongan-ji. It's where robed monks shuffle between temple buildings, prayer chants resonate through stunning Zen gardens, and the faithful meditate on tatami-mat floors. Even as the modern city buzzes and shifts all around, a waft of burning incense, or the sight of a bright vermillion torii gate marking a shrine entrance, are regular reminders that Kyoto remains the spiritual heart of Japan.
