Best place for traditional culture in japan?

Question:


Hi there
Soon I will be travelling to Japan to live there for a year. my main aims are to firstly, learn a lot more about the language, but also about the culture- traditonal japanese culture has always been of interest to me. Becuase of that I would like to live somewhere where japanese culture is almost at its peak. The first one that springs to mind is Kyoto, becuase of its numerous temples and shrines. Would you agree, and are there any other places?
Thank you :)
N.B I will be travelling to japan as part of a modern languages course at university. That is if I get in! :D

Answer:


Kyoto is an amazing place. It offers the full traditional Japanese cultural experience. Kyoto is renowned for its abundance of delicious Japanese food & cuisine and historical importance.
