Kyoto, one of the two urban prefecture of Japon (with Osaka), is quite famous abroad and loved for its unchanged buildings and streets. But we would like you to take a look at Kyoto's surrounding, equally magical.
A variety of popular tourist spots defines the suburbs of Kyoto. Come to medidate at the Byodoin buddhist temple and be amazed by its Phenix Hall. Up North, contemplate one of Japan's three most beautiful view: Amanohashidate - literally "the bridge linking earth and heaven" - a 3.6kms long sandbar covered with pine trees, crossing acroos Miyazu bay. A bit further up North, be surprised by the strange architecture of the 200 funaya (literally "boat house") of Ine fisher village.
