Japan, Kyoto 日本京都

Kyoto served as Japan's capital and the emperor's residence from 794 until 1868. It is now the country's seventh largest city. It is now the capital of Kyoto Prefecture, as well as a major part of the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area. Over the centuries, Kyoto was destroyed by many wars and fires. In Kyoto, there are countless temples, shrines and other historically priceless structures survive in the city today. With temples, parks, bustling business districts, markets, from regal estates to the tightly-packed neighborhoods, Kyoto is one of the oldest and most famous Asian metropolises.

京都在794年至1868年间，曾是日本的首都和皇室家族所在地。目前它是日本国内的第七大城市，也是京都辖区的首府，也是京都——大阪——神户都市区的主要成员。几个世纪以来，京都曾经多次在战争和火灾中被毁。京都拥有无数寺庙、神殿和其他现存的宝贵的建筑。因为拥有大量的寺庙、公园、繁忙的商业街区、市场和紧邻居民区的皇室御所，京都成为亚洲最古老和最出名的一座城市。

绝佳的享受 Top Things to Enjoy

Visit Nijo Castle 游览二条城

Nijo Castle was built in 1603 as the Kyoto residence of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo Period (1603-1867). Its palace buildings are arguably the best surviving examples of castle palace architecture of Japan's feudal era, and the castle was designated a UNESCO world heritage site in 1994.

建于1603年的二条城是德川家康在京都的御所。德川家康是江户时期（1603-1867）的第一位幕府将军。这里的宫殿无疑是日本尚存的封建时期最好的城堡宫殿建筑，并在1994年被列入联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产录。

Visit the Kyoto Imperial Palace 参观京都御所

The Kyoto Imperial Palace used to be the residence of Japan's Imperial Family until 1868, when the emperor and capital were moved from Kyoto to Tokyo. The complex is enclosed by long walls and consists of several gates, halls and gardens.

1868年天皇和都城从京都迁至东京之前，京都御所一直是皇室家族的住处。御所被长长的围墙围着，拥有多个大门、会堂和花园。

Entertain in Gion 消遣于祇园

Gion is Kyoto's most famous geisha district, located around Shijo Avenue between Yasaka Shrine in the east and the Kamo River in the west. It is filled with shops, restaurants and ochaya (teahouses), where geiko(Kyoto dialect for geisha) and maiko(geiko apprentices) entertain.

祇园位于八坂神社以西与鸭川河以东的四条天皇街。它是京都最有名的艺伎区。这里不乏商店、餐馆以及有艺伎和舞伎表演的茶馆。

旅游便签 Travel Notes

Best Time to Visit 最佳游览时间

The best time to visit Kyoto is in the mild shoulder seasons of spring (March, April) and autumn (October, November). In spring the city is festooned with the famous cherry blossoms and enjoys pleasant sunny weather, and in late autumn, once the typhoon season has passed, it is warm and boasts the vivid colours of the season. Summer can be uncomfortably hot and humid in the city. Read more on Kyoto's Climate and Weather.

去大阪旅游的黄金时期是温和的春季（三月、四月）以及秋季（十月、十一月），春季这里阳光明媚，樱花开得异常美丽；晚秋时节，这里已没有了夏季的台风干扰，四处都充满了浪漫的气息。夏季这里有些潮热不适合旅游，要想来这儿旅游，需要事先查询大阪天气和气温。
