Kyoto

Feel very Welcome. This blog is a part of Kojiki in Japan

A glimpse about Kyoto and some facts. Natural scenery, temples, shrines, towns and homes intermingle with a poignant historical beauty. Whether it is the Gion Festival, the Tea Ceremony or Japanese flower arrangement Ikebana or Nishijin-brocade, so many aspects of characteristic Japanese culture continue to thrive in Kyoto.

Over a period of 1200 years, dating from the decision to move the capital to Kyoto in 794, it nurtured a splendid, delicate and unique kind of culture, and over the course of history came to be considered the mother of culture within Japan. For this reason, Kyoto is often called “Japan’s heartland”, and it is said that it is impossible to know the real Japan without knowing Kyoto. On the other hand, Kyoto is not simply protecting its old traditions and culture, but is rather building upon the rich traditions of predecessors as a foundation for open domestic and international exchange.

It is a city which maintains a revolutionary spirit, a city of ideas and the cultural capital of Japan, constantly creating new traditions. In a partnership of trust with the people, efforts are made to create a “relaxing lifestyle in a vibrant city”, as a positive response towards the new era, while simultaneously protecting and developing traditional culture. Kyoto is a true jewel – Japan’s asset and the world’s treasure.
