Kyoto is the birthplace of Japanese culture- a fact that is evident in every corner of the city. Japan's ancient capital is home to 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the famous Golden Pavilion and the fortified Nijo Castle. And though Kyoto is brimming with historic sites, its people are what make it special- from geishas and master craftsmen to the performers of Noh and the ordinary citizens who participate in its colourful Matsuri festivals. Dougill and Hochner are longtime residents who help you discover the real Kyoto. Between the festivals and markets, restaurants and gardens, it would take you many trips to see all the 100 recommended sights. This book allows you to explore them all in one sitting, and is sure to provide plenty of inspiration for your next trip. |
