Fushimi, the City of Lights

Blessed by a bright starlight sky, the capital of the Shogunate is a beautiful sight. With its unique architecture, woods of constant cherry blossom and bamboo, many pagodas, castles and temples, the City of Lights is a quite lively place. Although not as big as many other capital cities in the world, Fushimi’s unique charm and dynamic pace sets it apart. Unfortunately, very few people from the outside are able to set foot in the City of Lights, and those lucky enough to be granted passage, are faced with many different restrictions as to where they can go in the city.
