Kyoto and related destinations
Between ancient temples and modern manga museums, Kyoto reveals itself through contrasts. Wander through vermillion gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine, where thousands of torii create tunnels of orange against green mountainside. Geisha hurry through narrow Gion streets at dusk, their white-painted faces glimpsed briefly before disappearing into exclusive teahouses. The golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji appears to float on its reflecting pond, somehow more impressive than any photograph suggests. Nishiki Market offers bizarre delicacies and perfect ceramics in equal measure. Don't miss Arashiyama's bamboo grove, where morning light filters through impossibly tall stalks creating a green cathedral effect that explains why the Japanese find spirituality in nature.

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo
"It’s an economical hotel across the street from Kyoto Station so you have easy access to all the train lines. If you have breakfast included in your room rate, eat at the OMOFU roastery caffe in the basement instead of the buffet. Less choice but fresh made—the truffle scrambled eggs are terrific. The only complaint I have with the hotel-and this cost them a star-is the mattresses. They are more like futons with no springs or foam. My old bones couldn’t handle it and I barely slept. Considering that’s the whole reason for staying at a hotel, I should take more stars off, but if you like sleeping on a rock, you will be happy."
Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto
"Modern and clean with great, helpful staff. Rooftop bar is great for evening drinks. Bakery is fantastic. Would highly recommend."
