My favorite subject at school is Japanese history. I sometimes consider myself attracted to things that have to do with Japan or Japanese. Therefore, out of the many cities in the world, I want to visit Kyoto, in Japan. Kyoto is very cultural, it has beautiful scenery and fine cuisine, making it a perfect place for a vacation.

Kyoto has many historic buildings and palaces. For example, the golden imperial palace, which has a long history, is a place I must pay a visit to. Unlike Tokyo and many major cities in the world, Kyoto does not have any high-rise or industry. This in fact, makes the air unpolluted and fresh. Undoubted, visiting Kyoto will make me feel relaxed and content. Many people think the Japanese dress like North Americans. Well, in fact, in Kyoto, many Japanese still continues to wear tradition clothing, such as Kimonos. In addition to that, the famous Buddhist Temple, Sensoji, is located in Kyoto. In short, if you want to learn about Japanese culture, Kyoto is a perfect place to visit.

Japan has many beautiful mountains, hot springs and forests. It is a perfect place to relax; just imagine sitting in a hot spring. Also, hiking and camping will be adventurous and fun. Because I love to explore the wilds, I am very sure I will really enjoy the excitement Kyoto will offer me.

In Canada, I love to dine in Japanese restaurants, such as Daimasu, Richmond Sushi and Sui Cha Ya. If I ever get a chance to visit Japan I will be able to taste real Japanese food. I am sure the cuisine in Japan will taste better than that in British Columbia. Indeed, there will be more variety and choices to choose from. This would definitely please my taste buds.

In conclusion, Kyoto is a wonderful city to visit. If I get a chance to visit Kyoto I will enjoy seeing the heritage buildings and palaces, exploring the beautiful mountain scenery and tasting real Japanese cuisine. Don’t you feel like flying to Japan right now?
