Japan’s Kyoto Prefecture is the epitome of color and splendor. It is also the perfect example of a dynamic culture that clings tenaciously to its history while embracing the offerings of the new world. Needless to say, Kyoto is one of the must-see places of the world. Perhaps one of the first recommendations we have is that when you do go see Kyoto, you try to time your arrival with the local festivals. We can assure you that this is when you will see Kyoto at its finest. Not only will the sights and sounds overwhelm your senses, (not to mention all that glorious food!), but this is also the time when you will see how fiercely the Japanese preserves their heritage.
