Kyoto Holidays

Reflecting the best of Japan's culture and tradition, Kyoto is a city on the island of Honshu swathed with peaceful temples, colourful shrines, religious architectural masterpieces and incredible gardens. Book a luxury holiday at one of its lavish properties, guest houses or ryokans to revel in exquisite peace, pleasure and pacification. Hyatt Regency, Ritz-Carlton, Sakara and Palace Side Hotel are some ideal choices for a lavish, long-stay in the city. Visitors can collect numerous lifetime experiences wandering through some prominent attractions such as Ryoanji Temple, Philosopher's Walk, Gion District, Kyoto Tower and Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine. The ideal seasons to visit this heavenly city are spring and fall when the cherry blossoms bloom and the leaves turn orange, red and yellow respectively. As the city draws huge crowds in these seasons and the hotel prices go higher, one must make a booking as early as possible to get great deals on luxury packages. This beautiful retreat showcases the immense cultural heritage of Japan through its main specialties of food such as tofu and kaiseki cuisine, and is well-known for its matcha (green tea) and yatsuhashi (a Japanese confectionery) worldwide. Additionally, Kyoto is a shopper's paradise offering a wide variety of traditional as well as modern Japanese goods at its exclusive, bustling markets such as Nishiki Market, Kobo-san Flea Market and Tenjin-san Flea Market.
