Kyoto for first-timers

Published on by Berna PrestoLeave a comment

Japan’s old capital certainly got its own charm. It’s a city so rich in culture and history that it could be overwhelming to a regular tourist. But whether you’re a history buff, a nature lover, or just passing by to snap some good photos, Kyoto surely has something for you.

It is, not surprisingly, home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The good news is you don’t have to travel far in-between to enjoy most sights – one of the reasons I love this place, it’s just so hard to miss the good spots.

If you’re pressed for time, you definitely should check this list first. This itinerary can easily be done in 1-2 days. Keep on reading! 😀

I mean when fares are cheap… Hooray to off-season travels! In less than a week, I found myself in the midst of the crazy Bangla road. Keep on reading! 😀
