The only Japan travel guide you'll need for getting around Kyoto!
Everything you need is in this one convenient package--including
extensive area maps! Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital and modern-day
center of tourism and traditional culture, is one of the world's
most beautiful and historic cities. Founded nearly 1,300 years ago
and undamaged by the war, Kyoto today is the home of over 1,600
Buddhist temples, 400 Shinto shrines, countless national treasures
and 17 World Heritage sites, including the famed Golden Pavilion,
Nijo Castle and Kiyomizu Temple. To experience the essence of
Kyoto, you must walk its avenues and streets, its alleys and
byways. Only in this way can you appreciate the true spirit of the
place--its quiet lanes and bustling main thoroughfares, and the
juxtaposition of traditional and modern houses and shops, serene
gardens and holy temples and shrines. This Kyoto travel guide
presents 29 easy-to-follow walking tours through Kyoto's history,
its many unique districts and scenic areas full of charm and
character. You'll discover not only the most renowned sites, such
as the Silver Pavilion, the rock garden at Ryoan-ji Temple and the
garden of the Heian Shrine, but also little-known areas off the
beaten track. Much more than a guidebook, this volume tells the
historical and cultural story of Kyoto's great monuments. The
colorful tales, fascinating facts, larger-than-life characters and
grand events that shaped the city and Japan at large will enthrall
every reader. This updated and greatly expanded guide features over
100 color photos, full-color maps that trace each route and
detailed diagrams of many individual sites.
