Adventurous travelers will thrill to the opportunity to explore Kyoto on their own! Bustling Kyoto, a city of nearly 1.5 million, was once the imperial capital of Japan. Today it is a colorful metropolis, where ancient temples can be found next to cosmopolitan shopping districts and history and architecture are around every corner. Kyoto is home to a plethora of Japan's National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties. Don't miss the regal Nijo Castle, first erected in 1603 and located in central Kyoto. Peruse the lively Nishiki Market, a long, narrow, outdoor marketplace where you can discover a wide variety of Kyoto's finest culinary delights. Enjoy some shopping or a visit to one of the city's many museums. The options are almost endless! Then, return to port with a camera filled with memories.
