Featured Travel Guide: Kyoto, Japan

Kyoto is justifiably a household name. Ancient beyond most countries, history to full one hundred textbooks; the capital of Japan for over a millenia. Kyoto is a treasure trove for any tourisdt or explorer, and if possible is underrated as atravel destination, overshadowed by the flashing lightds of the newer capital. If you are looking for a quieter, but still modern and sophidticatd Japan, here it is.
