Kyoto was the home of the imperial family from 794 to 1868 and the capital for much of that time. It has numerous ancient temples and gardens and is still considered to be the cultural capital of the country. We spent 19 days in the city, visiting many places we had not seen on previous visits. The following images are meant to give an idea of the sorts of things we saw at the temples and gardens.
