Kyoto : capital of Japan for more than a thousand years, Kyoto is in many ways the cradle of Japanese culture. Luckily it is the only major Japanese city that was spared from the bombs of World War II (it was even a candidate for the drop of the Atomic Bomb). Kyoto has a lot to offer to the travellers: more than sixteen hundred temples and several hundred shrines! Today Kyoto is Japan's seventh-largest city with a population of about 1 1/2 million people. Below is the list of the photos and pictures I took in Kyoto. You can use these photos as a guide to Kyoto and see some pictures of : Kiyomizu, Kinkakuji, Ryoanji, Ginkakuji, Tofukuji, Sanjusangendo, Gion, Kyoto Gosho (imperial palace)... All photos taken with a Canon EOS 300D (for more information on the material I have been using, follow the link «Lenses» at the bottom of the page). Below you can also find a map showing where Kyoto is. Finally at the top of the page you can find a link to the conditions for using the photos and pictures for free on benoa.net and a link to my Photolog. Bon Voyage!
