Kyoto as Japan's cultural capital
Kyoto: Ancient Capital, Cultural Treasure
The City of Kyoto was founded as "Heiankyo"
in 794 A.D, and flourished as the capital of Japan for approximately 1,000
years. Even after the transfer of the capital to Tokyo with the Meiji Restoration
in 1868, Kyoto maintained its position as Japan's cultural capital. It
is home to numerous national treasures, historical buildings and traditional
arts and crafts. Kyoto is known as the "spiritual home of the Japanese"
and it is often said that without knowing Kyoto, it is impossible to grasp
the true essence of Japan. Kyoto has a rich and colorful history, with
a very unique blend of tradition, culture, and industry. It is a popular
tourist destination not only for foreign visitors, but for Japanese holiday
makers as well. During autumn maple leaf viewing seasons, the city and
its rural outskirts are an irresistible attraction for nature lovers.
