a different kind of guide book,
This was my third trip to Kyoto and I brought three guide books. This is the one I used the most.
Many travel guidebooks are based on the most famous attractions and tell you how to get there.
This one is focused on local neighborhoods and lists the nearest, most interesting sites.
Since I already knew the type of sights I was interested in, I started with those nearest my hotel and worked outward from there.
It was a little confusing to use at first as the smaller maps are referred to larger maps in the back, but the more I used it, the more I liked it.
Information on the transportation systems was also helpful. As I got reacquainted with how to use the trains, subways and bus systems, I was able to get more adventurous and go further and further off the beaten path.
Overall, a great guide. Very readable – highly recommended.

Helpful gem,
I bought this guide because we had narrowed down our trip to Japan to just Kyoto. It has everything we need. How to get to Kyoto from Narita, where to stay, what to see, where to shop. Beautiful photos and a good map. We’re all set.
