Tokyo is Japan’s capital and the world’s most populous metropolis. Especially in the center area, streets are busy and you will see people everywhere. However, you may be surprised to hear that Tokyo is often considered to be the safest capital city in the world. One of the biggest attractions of Tokyo might be that you can find almost anything here, from modern Japanese culture such as Anime to traditionals such as Noh or Kabuki. Also, thanks to the efficient traffic transportation system, you can easily go around and visit many places even outside of Tokyo. If you wish to experience many things while you are in Japan, Tokyo could be the best place to make it come true.

Kyoto

Overview

Kyoto is often recognized as the cultural and historical heartland and also the most beautiful city in Japan. It is next to Nara prefecture and is only about 2.5 hours by fastest shinkansen from Tokyo. Because Kyoto served as Japan’s capital and the emperor’s residence a long time ago, you will see countless temples, shrines and traditional gardens that still remain. Strict regulations are made for the city to maintain its historical scenery: for example, roof tiles are to be silver-colored, and heights of buildings are to be shorter than 45 meters. Kyoto allows you to be surrounded by beautiful architecture and experience all that historical Japanese culture.
