Traveling to Kyoto

ENDO 2022 will take place in Kyoto, home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This world-famous city was the imperial capital of Japan for over a thousand years, and is still considered to be the heart and soul of traditional Japan. Those who explore Kyoto can expect magical bamboo forests, ornate shrines and temples, impeccably dressed geishas, theatre performances, and rambunctious monkeys. Visitors can learn all about art, tea, Zen Buddhism, and other pillars of Japanese culture, all within the city boundaries. Kyoto is also an ideal base for day trips to the ancient capital of Nara and the bustling city of Osaka as well as to Kobe and several other destinations.
