Kyoto


When you think about Kyoto, you most likely didn't think about its nightlife or which places to go at night. And it is true that many of the temples and sights close early, but there are some places and even temples that are open until very late at night, but unlike places like Tokyo and Osaka that have more of a modern kind nightlife with clubs and bars, in Kyoto, even certain areas to go to at night have a historic feel to them. These places include spots like the Fushimi Inari Shrine, the streets at Kyoto Hanatoro or the Kyoto tower.
