Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, still preserves many of its beautiful old buildings, temples, shrines, & other fascinating places. The 30 walking tours in this book take you both to famous sites in the city & to little-known but equally rewarding treasures tucked away up back streets or behind an unassuming gate or doorway. The book presents thoroughly researched information on the city's culture & history. It is supplemented with detailed maps for each walk & 16 pages of color photographs. This is a book that no visitor to Japan should be without.
