While in Kyoto, how about discovering a little about the Samurai?
Learn about the history of Japanese swordmanship and watch a performance from a master of Iaidō. Swords have played a very large role in the history and cultural development of Japan.
Toward the end of the year through the New Year’s season, Kyoto offers many traditional events to be experienced. One of the biggest Buddhist ceremonies is “Joya no Kane”, or the tolling of temple bells at midnight. A unique and very intense spiritual experience.
