Only a Partial Picture of Kyoto
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
"Seeing Kyoto" is a picturesque travel guide that is strong on beautiful photos and suggestions for walking routes. However, the image the book presents of Kyoto only captures a narrow slice of what Kyoto is really like. Kyoto is a large Japanese city with all of the crowding and drab concrete buldings that one associates with Tokyo. Yet within this bustling city, there are also beautiful tourist destinations that are unfortunately overwhelmed with tourists. "Seeing Kyoto" is a beautiful book with idealized images of Kyoto. Take this book with a large grain of salt.
