I think I should start planning now:
Kyoto is one of Japan's leading large cities, founded upon the Heian Capital, which was built in 794 AD. Its population of 1.47 million citizens lives in harmony with a natural and cultural environment which has developed over time immemorial. Kyoto City is a place where you can truly savor first-hand a rich depth of culture and art steeped in tradition, and set against the changing backdrop of the four seasons, with each one possessing its own charm.

The question is, will one week be enough? Or perhaps two would be better.
