Kyoto - jdlrobson/somedayguide GitHub Wiki

Kyoto was one of the original targets for the nuclear bomb that fell on Hiroshima.

It's a pretty city, lacking many of the high rises of neighbouring Tokyo.

Aside from the obvious tourist attractions here I highly advise visiting the deer in Nara and from there taking a train ride to the beautiful Mount Koya in Koyasan with its Buddhist temples and graveyards.
