Kyoto, Japan, Named the Most 'Mindful' Travel Destination in Asia

"Set atop a hill with a breathtaking view over the city, the temple delivers one of the most peaceful and visually stunning experiences—the golden temple shining over the water is said to be a sight you have to see for yourself (photos don’t do it justice), and even with the crowds the whole place felt calm and peaceful, offering a beautiful blend of history, culture, nature, and spirituality." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
