Kyoto Books

Posted on 09. Feb, 2007 by admin in Kyoto

Kyoto is such a popular place in the Kansai region. Its probably the most popular from a tourism perspective.

Kyoto for a first time visitor is a challenging experience because you need to take either the subway or a bus from the train station to a majority of the major sites. There are two that are very close to the Kyoto train station, but the really popular ones are not within walking distance. This is coming from someone who likes to walk 7-8 miles per day while on vacation.

We found having two guide books between 4 of us was necessary, but even still did not encompass enough information. We still used the internet + the bus station tourism office as well as the guide books to find out the best routes, the exact transportation required, and schedules and costs of temples.

Without further ado, here are the Kyoto Guidebooks.
