A stay in Kyoto, the former imperial capital, perfectly blends poetry, art and modernity, and is as intoxicating as the nostalgic fragrance that drifts from its old neighbourhoods. Seated facing the zen garden of a Kyoto temple, time suspends its flight, leaving you as if weightless, standing in the middle of a street from another era, where you may perhaps catch the fleeting yet unforgettable silhouette of a geisha adorned in her finest attire. To enhance your tour of Honshu, exceptional sites of beauty and spirituality: Hiroshima, Miyajima and its Shinto shrine, Takayama and the Japanese Alps region, Mount Koya, a pilgrimage site for Buddhists.
