A Japanese proverb says that if Japan was a human, Tokyo would be the head, Osaka the stomach and Kyoto the head. I couldn’t describe Kyoto better. With its countless amount of temples, this city with a rich and complex history really has a soul, beyond comparison to any other town I ever visited. If you want to feel the heart of Japan beating, come to Kyoto.
