Kameoka
Older than Kyoto, Kameoka has many cultural heritage sites, including temples and shrines, which are interesting for their beauty, but also that they remain a vibrant aspect of local lives and traditions. Kameoka is just 20 minutes by train from JR Kyoto train station: the route travels through a lush green valley with vistas of rice paddies and traditional villages nestled at the foot of the mountain range.
