Architecture & Gardens
Hidden amid a sea of concrete and neon that looks disappointingly like any other Japanese city, you will find in
Kyoto countless pockets of astonishing beauty: ancient temples with graceful wooden halls, traditional townhouses
clustered together along narrow streets, colourful ShintÅ shrines and, best of all, a profusion of gardens unlike
anything else in Japan. Indeed, one of the best reasons to come to Kyoto is to immerse yourself in the city's almost
limitless collection of gardens and traditional structures.
