Kyoto City-where the temples, shrines, townscapes, and traditions of the
ancient capital remain. Venture out a little farther, and you'll find another Kyoto
entirely. To the north you will find "Kyoto by the Sea," with unimaginable
views of the natural vistas of the magnificent Sea of Japan. In the center of the
prefecture, you'll find "Kyoto in forests," where the rich culture of the
woodlands has been passed down from generation to generation. To the south is
"Kyoto Infused with Tea," where expansive tea plantations have fostered the
Japanese tea culture. Last but not least is "Kyoto Otokuni Bamboo Grove,"
which was the capital of Japan before it was moved to Heian (modern day Kyoto
City), and is still home to ancient burial mounds and bamboo forests. Kyoto, a
beautiful place shaped by nature, is out there waiting for you!
