Kyoto, Japan (24-27.06.2017)

If Tokyo were an excitable child then Kyoto would be its grandfather, being the imperial capital of Japan for over one thousand years, until emperor Meiji moved (and thus the status of Capital) to Tokyo around 150 years ago. A more “old school” Japan, with protected streets that keep the historical feel to parts of the city, with many people donning kimonos on visits to temples. There is not as much hustle and bustle as Tokyo, a lot less bright lights and more narrow roadways. Kyoto is worth the visit for those interested in history and culture over a wild night out.
