The spiritual heart and the former imperial capital of Japan, Kyoto is the capital city of Kyoto Prefecture in the Kansai region of country’s Honshu island. The city has witnessed several transformations over the centuries but what has lasted and stood the test of time are the many temples, shrines and other historically important structures. It was because of this virtue, the city was erased from the list of cities to be destroyed with atomic bombs during World War II.
