5. KYOTO

The city is the ex-capital of Japan until Tokugawa moved it to Tokyo called Edo at that time. During the period, Japanese emperors had been living there as a king and pope like figure. Like old cities in Europe, there are so many historical sites and buildings in the city reserved by the government and people. Even during WWII, the US avoided from bombing Kyoto, because of its historical value. When you visit the city, you can feel the air of samurai period through the old temples.
