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.

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. (Note that images in the paperback are in black and white.)Ian Littlewood is the author of a number of other books, including A Literary Companion , Sultry Travel and Sex since the Grand Tour , and The Idea of Western Images, Western Myths .
