GENERAL INFORMATION ON KYOTO
Kyoto is often called “Japan's heartland”, and it is said that it is impossible to know the real Japan without
knowing Kyoto.

Natural scenery, temples, shrines, towns and homes intermingle with a poignant historicalbeauty. Whether it is the Gion Festival, the Tea Ceremony or Japanese flower arrangement or Nishijin-brocade,so many aspects of characteristic Japanese culture continue to thrive in Kyoto. Over a period of 1200 years,
dating from the decision to move the capital to Kyoto in 794, it nurtured a splendid, delicate and unique kind ofculture, and over the course of history came to be considered the mother of culture within Japan (quoted fromthe following website).
