Hidden Pockets in Kyoto: An Insider's Guide to the Best Places to Eat, Drink and Explore (Curious Travel Guides)

This is an excellent travel guide that fills a unique niche in Japan travel guides. Usually Kyoto is covered in guides as a tourist city with emphasis on popular shrines and the typical beaten path. In contrast, this is a deep local guidebook beautifully organized by neighborhood and the recommendations are special, personally curated and diverse. Kyoto is brought to life as a city of refinement, reflection and unique culture. Highly recommend this as well as Mackintosh and Wide's other excellent Japan travel guides.

This book takes me back to when i visited Kyoto. Now I wish this book existed then but never too late for a second trip! Only this time, I’ll take this book with me and visit the all the hidden gems! Wonderful book and beautifully written too!
