Oh, of course! Akihabara is great, but I can't stand the enormous city with too many people. I tend to not like large cities in general, and this is like the king of large cities (or maybe the prince - isn't Mexico city physically larger?). Anyway, Kyoto is in fact my favorite place in Japan, and has what is probably my favorite tourist attraction in the world, the Kinkakujin. Very beautiful.
