Historical Kyoto

Kyoto Kyoto used to be the Capital of Japan and the emperor's residence until 1868, now days it's the seventh largest city in the country with a population of 1.4 millon people and a much modern look.

Over the centuries the city was destroyed by many wars and fires but due to it's hitoric value Kyoto was not chosen as a target of air raids during World War II.

Countless temples, shrines and other historically priceless and unique structures still survive in the city and can be appreciate it by all the tourists who wants to be amazed by them.
