 Kyoto at its Best April 11, 2000

Lonely Planet: Kyoto is one of the best investments you can make before your trip to Japan. Like all of the other Lonely Planet books, it is well-organized and interesting to read, with plenty of practical information (where to stay and what to see) plus a thorough section on language, history, and culture. Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital, has over 3,000 shrines and temples--it's essential to have a guidebook that explains, in detail, the form and function of the major ones and offers suggestions for seeing the smaller ones. I found the "Things to See and Do" sections especially helpful... in addition to the religious centers, Lonely Planet helped me find my way to Lake Biwa (Japan's largest lake) and to museums, shops, restaurants, and even a baseball game. If you are not planning a specific itinerary, it's easy to "flip and point" in order to find something that looks good on a given day. I was in Kyoto for a year and was not able to see half of the things that Lonely Planet covered, but for those that I did see, it really enhanced my experience. Lonely Planet is a good all-around book that won't let you down. It considers all budgets and offers suggestions for even the poorest student. If you aren't a native speaker of Japanese, it may help to have a copy of Lonely Planet's Japanese Phrasebook, just in case the guide doesn't go into enough detail.
