Japan is one of the most beautiful, organized and Traveller friendly country. One should always keep Japan in the travel list. Travel is very convenient and affordable in Japan. One can take a JR pass which allows you to travel on bullet trains, local trains and buses. Infact one can book a JR pass online before landing in Japan or on the airports or major stations in the country according to the number of days you wish to stay in the country. I took a JR pass for 7days for a trip to Kyoto from Tokyo. It costed me around 33k Yen, which a decent amount if you are traveling through bullet trains.
Kyoto is one of the most beautiful city. It's a mesmerizing experience. Kyoto, once the capital of Japan, is a city on the island of Honshu. It's famous for its numerous classical Buddhist temples, as well as gardens, imperial palaces, Shinto shrines and traditional wooden houses. It’s also known for formal traditions such as kaiseki dining, consisting of multiple courses of precise dishes, and geisha, female entertainers often found in the Gion district.
