Kyoto

Encompassed by the hills of the Central Honshu, Kyoto is one of the largest cities of Japan. It is also the educational hub of western japan that is brimming with several higher educational establishments and universities.

It is also one of the only major Japanese city to have escaped the wrath of World War II.

Famed as the principal cultural center of Japan for over 1100 years and as the residence of the emperor, Kyoto at present flaunts several fine examples of paintings and sculptures along with a variety of other art forms in the several galleries and museums of the city. The city is also a home to the centuries old architecture, majority of which is influenced by Buddhism. This is very well preserved in the several well preserved temples of the city. Kyoto continues to play a quintessential role in the Japanese religion with about 30 of the city’s temples which serve as principal centres of the different Buddhist sects along with some 200 Shinto shrines which lie within the city limits.
