Ancient Kyoto Weekend stay

Kyoto is one of our favourite destinations that we often do over weekends. It is amongst the oldest of places in the world and has so much heritage and history. One of the reasons Kyoto has such a high count of treasured sites worth visiting is because it was spared during World War 2.

It has been said that Kyoto was actually the initial intended target for the devastating atomic bomb, however Americans and allies had visited the city and thought it unwise to attack such a culturally relevant place to the Japanese.

If you’re able to plan your Japan travel to coincide with cherry blossom season, then you will surely be grinning from ear to ear. Kyoto especially is covered in cherry blossom trees, and visiting this ancient city with its awe-inspiring sites framed by cherry blossoms is truly a special sight to admire. Here are the top sights you should cover over the weekends if ancient Kyoto and its heritage interest you:-

1) Kinkaku- ji Temple
2) Kiyomizu Dera Temple
3) Ginkaku - Ji Temple
4) Fushimi Inari Taisha
5) Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
6) Kyoto imperial palace
7) Nijo castle.

There is ofcourse so much to see in kyoto, beyond what i have mentioned. But if it's a weekend trip and you wish to focus on older things. This will give you a good glimpse of that side in Kyoto.
