Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This Kyoto travel guide presents the best tourists sites in Japan's spiritual and historical capital.
With this guide the visitor needs no further assistance to learn all that a place has to offer. It is factual, concise, and complete. This Japan travel book is generously illustrated with photographs, maps, route plans, and building plans, as well as a selection of reproductions from old prints and picture scrolls.
The sights were specifically chosen to give foreign visitors a broad understanding of Kyoto's political, religious, and cultural history. Among them are the ancient Phoenix Hall of the Byodo-in, the famous rock garden at Ryoan-ji, the mountain temples of Enryaku-ji, the lavishly decorated Nijo Castle of the Tokugawas, the Silver Pavilion and its remarkable garden, and the "all-time temple," Kiyomizu.
Three appendices--a chart of Japanese art periods, a glossary and a list of useful Japanese phrases--further enhance its value.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
