Kyoto, Japan
Surrounded by a ring of splendid forests on all sides, the town has struck the perfect balance between thoughtful, modern design and a perfectly preserved historical legacy. Peaceful temples, impressive museums, wild nightlife, wonderful alleyways, quiet back streets and an ultra-modern train station blend seamlessly. Kyoto was one of the only major Japanese cities to escape bombing in World War II, so it preserves more of the country's ancient forms than other areas. And the forests that blanket its many hills serve as a constant reminder of Japan's progressive, conservationist mentality.
