A Japanese proverb says that if Japan was a human, Tokyo would be the head, Osaka the stomach and Kyoto the heart. 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.
🇫🇷 Un proverbe japonais dit que si le Japon était un homme, Tokyo en serait la tête, Osaka l’estomac et Kyoto le cœur. Je ne pourrais pas mieux dire. Avec ses innombrables temples, cette ville à l’histoire riche et complexe possède vraiment une âme, plus qu’aucune autre ville que j’aie jamais visitée. Si vous voulez découvrir où bat le cœur du Japon, venez à Kyoto !
