One of the most impressive cities in Japan is Kyoto.
I visited Kyoto in 2004 and found it a very beautiful city and rich in ancient Japanese culture. There are shrines and temples galore. Thankfully, Kyoto was spared from bombing attacks during World War II.
JapanVisitor has posted their Kyoto Travel Guide.
They begin it with:
Being the ancient capital of Japan, Kyoto is a paradise full of marvellous remnants of its former glory. Ancient temples, exquisite gardens and shrines are just a few of the many attractions that the city has to offer. What you will find in our Kyoto travel guide would be of immense value to the traveller who seeks to have a memorable time in fascinating Kyoto. Our Kyoto guide will offer you up to date and useful information on all that is relevant in the city of Kyoto.

For kaiju fans, Kyoto was visited by both Godzilla and Gamera (but not at the same time). Godzilla was the first in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II in 1993. Gamera arrived in 1999 in Gamera 3. Kyoto is spotlighted in The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan on page 43.
Godzilla threatened Kiyomizu-dera and blasted Kyoto Tower while Gamera battled against Irys inside of Kyoto Station.
