Kyoto: A timeless monument to beauty
The phrase, “a feast for the eyes,” gets thrown about so often in travel narratives, it fails miserably in describing the overwhelming spiritual ambiance and sensory grandeur awaiting in Kyoto, the 1,000-year-old original capitol of Imperial Japan. From the Kinkaku-ji temple covered in gold leaf and the mysterious Ryoan-ji rock garden, to the 1,001 Buddha statues exuding complete serenity in Sanjusangendo Hall, Kyoto offers a one-of-a-kind, bucket list experience.
