Kyoto's cool, lots of things to see and do and cool markets, the LGBTQ scene is alive and well there. It isn't out like it is in a lot of big cities, most people are pretty private, but Japanese courts just ruled same-sex marriage bans unconstitutional, and there are plenty of LGBTQ bars and of course Japanese people are publicly polites to a fault, so it's on the accepting side of the spectrum.
I will say though, Kyoto is cool because it's a Japanese city and Japanese cities are cool, but all of my favorite memories set in Japan are from smaller towns and other cities.
