May 20

Kyoto officially Kyoto City is the capital city of Kyoto Prefecture in the Kansai region of Japan's largest and most populous island of Honshu.

Kyoto (京都) was the capital of Japan for over a millennium, and carries a reputation as its most beautiful city and the nation's cultural capital.

Around Town

I heard someone say that Japan is the most exotic place you can go that has all the emintities of the United States. Everything is the same but different. After my visit I agree.

Shinkyogoku shopping arcade

Shinkyogoku is a covered shopping arcade and the most popular shopping street in all of Kyoto. This place is amazing and if you are visiting Kyoto than this is a must. You can walk around here for hours and sample some of the best foods found in Japan.

Eats and Drinks

Here are the Kyoto specials:
Yuba, Kyoto Sake, Kyoto Soba (Buckwheat Noodles), Kyoto Sushi: Saba-Zushi (Mackerel Sushi), Tsukemono (Pickled Vegetables), Hamo (Conger Eel), Matcha Green Tea Desserts, Yatsuhashi: Japanese Sweets

People of Kyoto

Just like in all of Japan, people in Kyoto keep to themselves. They are very friendly if you ask for anything but they will not bother you otherwise. Despite how tourists behave at times, Japanese people are wonderful. They go out other way to not offend anyone.
