After our tourist guide dedicated to Tokyo published at the end of 2023, we could not continue our “Travel to Japan” collection without devoting a whole book in Kyoto ! It is now done: we are officially announcing the release of volume 5 called Kyoto: guide to the cultural capital of Japan.
Imperial capital for 1,000 yearsKyoto is indeed an essential destination for a stay in Japan but difficult to approach due to the abundance of sites, as there are so many things to discover. We tried to distinguish characteristic, historical and cultural elements of the ancient city to enable conscious visitswhere we understand what we see to better appreciate it.
Still in A5 format and illustrated by a deck of cards created by us, the book presents the 5 major tourist areas of the city, and some ideas for complementary day excursions in the Kansai region. Various activities are also offered to vary your days andimmerse in local culture and traditional arts. The reader will thus be able to freely create their route according to their interests and their available time on site.
