Reiseführer Kyoto

Kyoto is one of the main travel destinations in Japan. In the ancient capital city, one can find the essence of Japanese culture: thousands of temples and shrines to see, and in neighborhoods like Gion, the old Kyoto with its wooden houses, hidden temples, and small shops can still be sensed. The Trescher travel guide Kyoto 2020 offers entertaining and knowledgeable city tours with detailed descriptions and presents the most important sights. Excursions to the surrounding area, as well as to the ancient capital Nara, the vibrant metropolis of Osaka, and the temple mountain Koya-san, are intended for those planning a longer stay in the region. Special recommendations from the authors, both Japanologists and tour guides in the area, along with atmospheric photos, city maps, and overview maps, facilitate travel preparation and orientation on-site. Numerous background information on geography, history, culture, and Japanese cuisine deepens the experiences gained during the trip.
