Kyoto's Historical Treasures

Kyoto’s historical landscape is defined by this collection of UNESCO World Heritage sites, Zen temples, and Shinto shrines. The list includes the gold-leafed Kinkaku-ji, the 15th-century silver pavilion of Ginkaku-ji, and the iconic wooden stage of Kiyomizu-dera. Architectural highlights range from the 17th-century Nijo Castle to the expansive vermilion torii gates of Fushimi Inari-taisha.
