Japan · March–May (cherry blossom) or October–November (fall foliage)
Kyoto is where Japan kept its soul when the rest of the country raced toward modernity. Geisha districts, bamboo groves, golden pavilions, and tea ceremony rooms that have barely changed in five centuries. Visit in spring for cherry blossoms or autumn for the fiery maple canopy — both will leave you breathless.
