For two years in a row, Kyoto was voted #1 in the World's Best Cities ranking by readers of the American travel magazine Travel+Leisure (as of 2015).
Boasting a vast array of World Heritage sites and famous sightseeing destinations, visitors to the city can experience history in almost every nook and cranny. Not limited to architectural sights, Kyoto also offers unique cuisine, as well as traditionally crafted accessories. In this article, we've carefully chosen Kyoto cuisine and traditional arts to introduce to you.
Gourmet
Kyoto goes through extreme temperature swings, so the seasonal changes are quite vivid. In addition, the area is blessed with good water and soil, which helped develop its rich food culture. Adding shichimi-togarashi spice or garnishing the bowl with a topping of herring are of the unique ways Kyotoites put their own spin on soba and udon noodles to make their meals even more delicious. There are also plenty of enjoyable green tea flavored sweets, from cakes to puddings. Once you’ve eaten something sweet together with a cup of green tea, you will be able to keep Kyoto with you forever.

Traditional Culture
Originally made as bathrobes, the yukata has gradually modernized and became a staple for people to wear to summer festivals.
A yukata needs to be worn with an obi sash and geta clogs, and here we’ll introduce a rich array of various yukata clothing sets. One way for people to enjoy sightseeing in Kyoto is to use a yukata rental service, and stroll around the elegant townscapes while wearing a yukata. In addition, there are many accessories and pouches that use silk crepe fabrics and Japanese designs. Just looking at Kyoto’s accessories can be an enjoyable experience.
