KamakuraKamakura is most famous for its Great Buddha, but it also has a number of interesting temples and shrines to explore: it has sometimes been called the "Kyoto of Eastern Japan." Kamakura was once the capital of the country, when Minamoto Yoritomo chose the city as the seat of his new military government in 1192.
KyotoNestled in the mountains of Western Honshu, Kyoto has earned a worldwide reputation as the most beautiful city in Japan. Kyoto is known as the city of a thousand temples, but actually it has more. It is home to an astonishing 1,600 Buddhist temples, plus 400 Shinto shrines, a trio of palaces, and dozens of gardens and museums.
NaraJapanese and foreigners alike flock to Nara for a glimpse of Old Japan. Many of its historic buildings and temples remain intact, and long ago many of these historical structures were enclosed in the peaceful confines of the large and spacious Nara Park.
NikkoNikko has been a sacred place since the 8th century, when a Buddhist hermitage was established here. In time, it became prominent for its training centers for Buddhist priests. Today, several shrines and temples are clustered in Nikko, amid a magnificent forest of over 13,000 cedar trees, spectacular waterfalls and mountain scenery.
TokyoThe capital and most populous city in Japan, Tokyo is home to numerous Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, and other sacred sites ranging from Christian churches to Confucian temples. It is also a good base for a day trip to Kamakura.
