For the second year running, Kyoto has been named as the world’s top travel destination by Travel + Leisure Magazine.
Although the magazine targets travelers at the other end of the spectrum from Japan Cheapo, their readers do get around so they at least have a good frame of reference.
In the survey of readers, Kyoto scored an A+ rating of 91, beating out Charleston, South Carolina (!?) and Cambodia’s Siem Reap – home to the famed Angkor Wat temple complex.
