Description
Find your own journey. Kyoto can be experienced through major cultural landmarks and small choices made throughout the day. This city guide helps you choose between neighbourhoods, temples, food and excursions, so you can give the city more time than a series of quick visits.
Experiences to look forward to. Cherry blossoms at Ninna-ji, the International Manga Museum and tempura at Yoshikawa are among the book’s examples. Coverage includes central Kyoto, Gion, Higashiyama and Arashiyama, with suggestions for trips to Nara, Osaka, Himeji and the Lake Biwa area, among others. This provides several options for planning days with different themes.
Who is this guide for? Suitable for those who want to spend several days in Kyoto and want a dedicated guide to the city. Give some areas a full day, and consider which excursions fit in without filling every available hour.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to select experiences you truly desire and see them in context with the rest of your trip. A route with fewer stops can allow more time to become acquainted with each location, and it is often useful to leave certain days less structured. Browse through it with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you wish to achieve and what you wish to have time to experience.
A physical travel guide is also useful to refer back to during your trip. Lay it out when discussing the next leg of your journey, rediscover an idea you’ve noted, and allow your plans to evolve as you get to know your destination. It functions equally well as inspiration for your initial travel dream and as support when making concrete choices.
