Kyoto

This was easily the prettiest of all the places we visited in Japan. We were in Kyoto for four days, but could easily have stayed for 2 weeks.

This old imperial city is dotted with dozens of temples, we chose one to put up here. It's the Kinkakuji (Gold) Temple, which was pretty stunning.









Beautiful country town Arashiyama, a popular local tourist destination. We spent the day walking around the town and were rewarded with an amazing array of colours and beautiful Japanese architecture.
