Kyoto Without Crowds

Meer over het boek

REVISED AND UPDATED FOR 2022/23Western tourists rarely see more of Kyoto than a handful of famous sites – lovely but often crowded to bursting point. And far from peaceful. If you are willing to step just a short way off the beaten track, there is a different city to be explored. A few minutes from the tour buses you can find modest temple gates that open on to courtyards and gardens of mesmerizing beauty. Most tourists are quite unaware of them. This book is a practical guide to the best of these places, with a layout that makes it easy to check which of them is close to the major tourist sites on your itinerary. The e-book is designed with multiple links for quick reference on smartphones or tablets.Please have a glance at the 'Look Inside' feature to see what the book is like and which temples are included.
