Amazon.com reviews:

Among the world’s most cherished ancient cities, Kyoto, Japan, is perfect for exploring on foot. Richly detailed and small enough to fit in a jacket pocket, Exploring Kyoto is an essential guide to becoming an enlightened pedestrian in the area once known as Yamashiro (?the back of the mountains”). Thoroughly revised and updated, this edition of Exploring Kyoto offers two new routes and spans a spectrum of geographical and cultural topography, from bustling downtown quarters to remote mountaintops, hip eateries to ancient shrines. Included are:

• Thirty explorations, including Mt. Hiei, Arashiyama, Heian Shrine, Ryoanji Temple, Philosopher’s Walk and many hidden corners
• Detailed maps tracing each route
• Over thirty descriptive photos
• Essential tips on etiquette and behaviour
• Full index to all sites and attractions
• In-depth information on local history, arts, and festivals
