Kyoto is Japan’s timeless heart—a city where centuries-old temples, tranquil gardens, and traditional teahouses stand alongside vibrant markets and modern creativity. Known as the cultural capital of Japan, it’s a place where the beauty of the past is not preserved in glass but lived every day, in rituals, festivals, and the quiet grace of daily life.

Mark Ferdinand invites you to discover Kyoto’s treasures: from the golden glow of Kinkaku-ji and the vermilion gates of Fushimi Inari to the elegance of Gion’s geisha district and the seasonal splendor of cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. Whether you’re wandering peaceful bamboo groves, savoring kaiseki cuisine, or experiencing the art of tea, Kyoto offers a journey into the soul of Japan.
