Family Overview: Kyoto, Japan
First impressions for some visitors of the Kyoto—a city that for a thousand years, right up until 1868, was the seat of the mighty emperors—may be of concrete, neon, and vaulting modern buildings.

Delve below this super modern façade and another very different city emerges, one of ornate Buddhist temples, sumptuous palaces, and geisha girls flitting in and out of the shadows of old wooden houses. The city boasts no fewer then 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites, over 400 Shinto temples, and over 1,500 Buddhist temples, with the vast majority being open to families.
