Interesting, I was just finishing his biography and it was repeatedly mentioned how he was inspired by his trips to Kyoto and the Japanese Zen mindset in general. Also, his daughter and his son also wanted to visit Kyoto when Jobs asked them to pick a location upon graduation for the very same reasons.

Personally, I loved Kyoto when I was in Japan for a week. It carries in itself an air of calm and serenity wherever you go. I remember I was walking around the homes and alleys outside of Fushimi Inari and it was as magical as the shrine itself.
