Kyoto, indisputably one of Asia's most fascinating destinations, was also one of Asia'a longest-running capitals. From its founding in 794 to its rejection as Japan's capital in favour of Tokyo in 1868, Kyoto absorbed some of Japan's major cultural, social, and historical shifts. Old Kyoto brings the city to life, providing a delightful companion to both old and modern Kyoto.
