Famed for its sublime gardens, cherry blossoms and exuberant temples, the ancient town of Kyoto goes beyond its traditional reputation to offer a world full of modern indulgences. It boasts numerous shrines and tranquil zen gardens. The echoes of prayer and aromas of incense linger in and out of every lane in the city, gently reminding us that although it is not the nation’s capital anymore (it was the capital of Japan for much of the country's history), it still remains the spiritual and cultural capital of Japan.
Expanding its horizons, Kyoto is now aiming to become a major Information Technology (IT) and start-up hub, thereby attracting business investments and travellers from overseas.
According to an industry report by Mori Memorial Foundation’s Institute for Urban Development, a Tokyo-based think tank, Kyoto ranked on top of the list of Japan’s most powerful cities beside Tokyo in 2019.
EXPERIENCE KYOTO RICKSHAW RIDES
The best way to explore the city is by living like a local. One can either go around the city on foot or hop on traditional rickshaws, where an athletic rickshaw-puller may also recommend must-visit, offbeat places in the city. Visitors can book this tour through Ebisuya, a company that operates rickshaw businesses across Japan. The picturesque Arashiyama Bamboo Grove (a bamboo forest) and its charming neighborhood make for a scenic route for your rickshaw ride. If you visit the region in mid-October, you can enjoy nature in different hues of autumn. The rickshaw that can accommodate two people, has comfortable seats and provides a roof on hot summer days.
