Kyoto travel photography

Kyoto is Japan's temple city — over a thousand shrines and temples, from the gold-leafed Kinkaku-ji reflected in its pond to the vermilion torii tunnels of Fushimi Inari. This collection covers the classic monuments, quiet sub-temples and lantern-lit lanes of Higashiyama, shot across seasons from spring blossom to December snow.

30 curated, licensable photographs of Kyoto, Kansai, Japan — temple, shrine, architecture, golden hall, ninnaji, chigaidana, fusuma e. Available royalty-free or rights-managed.
