The ancient capital of Japan until 1868. Visit Nijo Castle constructed in 1603, enjoy quiet contemplation at the imposing Todaiji Temple - Japan's largest wooden Buddhist temple and look out for tame deer in beautiful Nara Park. Nothing is as symbolic of Kyoto as Kinkaku-ji's golden reflection shimmering across the rippled surface of the pond before it. The current gold leaf-coated reconstructed temple was unveiled in 1955, five years after the 14th-century original was torched by one of the temple's monks. It is set on the water amid a garden complex in Muromachi period garden design - the most classical of Japanese gardens.

Additionally, as Kochi is a prefecture that was blessed with access to mountains, rivers, and the ocean, it is a veritable treasure trove of delicious food. It's most famous for bonito, called -katsuo- in Japanese, both for how good the fish tastes and as the top consumer of the fish in all of Japan.
