People always rave about how wonderful Japan is. It is a country rich in culture, yet it also offers a modern way of life. Shopping, theme parks, and sightseeing are not the only things the country has to offer, as it can also be a place for spiritual retreat.

Located in the Kansai region is Kyoto, which used to be known as Heian-kyo or translated as “Capital of Peace and Tranquility.” The place has been the center of culture from thousands of years ago up to today. It is home to 90 Christian churches, 400 Shinto shrines, and 1,660 Buddhist temples – so it cannot get any more peaceful and spiritual than it already is.
