Thousands of vermillion torii gates climbing a mountain in a single unbroken line, temples that have hosted cherry blossoms and maple leaves in the same courtyard for a thousand years, and geisha still crossing the odd alley at dusk.
The best time to visit Kyoto is Mar–May, Oct–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (72°F).
