Kyoto, the seventh largest city of Japan with a population of nearly 1.4 million people was at one time Japan’s capital as well as the Emperors residence for the period 794 to 1868. Kyoto had to bear the brunt of destruction several times over as a result of many wars and fires. However, at the time of the air raids during the Second World War it was spared being targeted due to its historic value. It is due to this fact the city still has a countless number of priceless structures such as temples, shrines and other buildings surviving today. These hold a lot of importance as far as the city’s contribution towards the country’s tourism industry is concerned.
