Today, I'll introduce one of the most popular city in the world Kyoto. In 1993, Japanese government has recommended registering Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto to World Heritage Commitee and the following year, it was registered as a world heritage site. Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto is composed by 17 places of shrines, temples and castle, so wide area has been registered as Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto in the world heritage site. Each registered shrines, temples and castle are famous, especially "Kiyomizu-dera Temple," "Ginkaku-ji Temple," "Kinkaku-ji Temple," "Byodo-in Temple" and "Nijo-jo Castle" are popular in many tourists. Kyoto is not only tourists from abroad, there is also popular in Japanese tourists and school trips. So, all year round tourists will visit the Kyoto. Because Kyoto is also attractive the cityscape and buildings not registered as a world heritage site, so there is not feel bored tourists. Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine is a typical example, it's one of the most famous shrines in Japan. It has some specialties, such as sparrow's yakitori (grilled chicken), omokaruishi (you can use this stone to try your lack). I think most famous specialty is the Senbon Torii (a thousand trii) even out of those. It's a magical and mysterious space. I think you have to go there when you visited Kyoto.
