【Best things to do in Kyoto | Nature, temples, shopping】
Being one of the oldest cities in Asia, Kyoto’s the kind of city that could have a Wendy’s across from a 1,000-year-old temple. It’s the best place to experience traditional Japanese culture at its heart. There’s so much to do in Kyoto; even if you get tired of shrines and temples, there’s also many parks to explore and hikes to complete. If you are visiting in the spring or fall during cherry blossom or Japanese maple season, I especially recommend staying as many days as possible. The scenes of the seasonal trees alongside the 1,000-year-old architecture are some of the most gorgeous sights I’ve ever seen.
