JAPAN: Kyoto's Temples and Geikos

Kyoto is one of Japan’s ten largest cities with a population of about 1.5 million

Kyoto used to be Japan's capital and the emperor's residence from 794 until 1868.

A Cocktail Party Trivia Fact - during WWII Kyoto had been on the list of potential cities to drop the atomic bomb on, but, it was taken off the list due to its historic value.

Because of this, countless temples, shrines and other historically priceless structures survive in the city today.
