Exploring Kyoto: On Foot in the Ancient Capital

by: Judith Clancy
We used this guide to learn about Kyoto and to plan a trip. It is the most practical format for a book to design a journey in any country. It's swell.

Old Kyoto: The Updated Guide to Traditional Shops, Restaurants, and Inns

by: Diane Durston
I'm writing this as we leave Kyoto on our latest trip here. By now, we own multiple travel guides to the region. Every time we come we bring two books: any one of the guides plus this book. We use the usual guides for accommodations, good maps of the streets in the central area, and descriptions of the temples, things this book doesn't really try to cover and which you shouldn't expect from it. We use this book to explore the back alleys and find the traditional shops.

This morning we ate fresh tofu skin and bought tomorrow's breakfast at Yubahan, we snacked on grilled rice balls at Ichiwa right north of Daitoku-ji and we're bringing back salted natto snacks from Isoda.

A Guide to the Gardens of Kyoto

A very dry book for such a juicy topic. Practically unusable for my purposes.

Kyoto (City Guide)

by: Chris Rowthorn
I read the reviews for this book before buying it and I was concerned about the complaints that the maps were horrible. However, there were no other recently-published guides to Kyoto so I decided that a guide with bad maps was better than no guide at all. So, I bought the book and I am happy I did.

Yes, the maps for the book were bad and I am thankful to the other reviewers for pointing this out so I did not unknowingly try to rely on the maps and find myself lost. Here is the good news: You can get excellent maps for free in Kyoto Station.
