    Please check out the following sentences.

    (1) Kyoto is an ancient city, but it also has modern architecture.
    (2) There are some temples in Kyoto.
    (3) They are unique and full of historic elements.

    What do you mean by elements? I think it needs changing but am not sure what you mean.

    Not a teacher only a native.

    Do you mean the temples have historic features? I also think 'traditional' sounds better than historic, but that is just my opinion.

    You could say:
    'They are unique and full of history'
    'They are unique and have many historic features' - I suppose 'elements' could be used, however I think 'features' sounds better.

    The sentence I would use is:
    'They are unique and have many traditional features'.

    Like I said at the start, I'm not a teacher only a native.
