5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent pocket sized guide

K.L. · April 23, 2025

Excellent pocket size guide complete with maps, concise details on the attractions and sights with good suggestions on walking routes to maximise the limited times you may have available. Focuses more on Kyoto so probably not suitable if only travelling to Osaka. A little lacking on practical guidance on how to navigate the public transport systems but all in all a very useful publication and recommended if you only want to purchase a single guide book for your travels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lonely planet didn't disappoint

Used this to plan our recent trip. As always, the lonely planet full of pictures and useful information and didn't disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars There is a map of Kyoto & Osaka in this book

C. · April 30, 2025

great tour guidebook

2.0 out of 5 stars Information present but needs better organization to be useful

A. · April 15, 2025

A lot of information, but hard to actually use when in Kyoto. Needs to have a better organization and ease of reference. Somehow it was like the information was disconnected and hard to actually use once in Kyoto. Needs to be organized based on a person's preferences. Then, the streets are very confusing and the directions need to be very clear with a map.

Excellent Pocketsized Guide

Z. · January 9, 2025

Nice and informative pocket sized guide. Easy to read layout with a detachable folded map. Good value for money.

As described

A.S. · October 14, 2025

More Kyoto plus a some of Osaka

A bit disappointing, because I expected the book to be about both cities but it is more focused on Kyoto.

A Useful Pocket Guide to Kyoto and Osaka

G. · January 26, 2025

Growing up, Lonely Planet guidebooks offered a tantalizing glimpse into far off destinations. I’d walk over to a local library, where shelves filled with the familiar blue tomes promised a peek into lands I could only dream of visiting, pick one, and be transported.All that has changed.Within seconds the videographic escapades of hundreds of travel vloggers can be enjoyed from a phone along with the addictive but sometimes empty doomscrolling of bite sized shorts.If you’re asking yourself if there is still a place for guidebooks, then this pocket sized, colorful, entertaining, and informative pocket-sized book is the answer, with a resounding yes.Leaf through the opening pages and one is introduced to individual pages dedicated to the best Temple, Garden, Culture, Foodie, Outdoors, After-Dark, History and Art Experiences, followed by suggested itineraries, before each region of Kyoto and Osaka is summarized in succinct detail, with the various experiences, how to get there, and their cost clearly and eloquently described in small, easily digestible paragraphs.The information is so clearly displayed, the vivid photographs so vibrant and interesting that it really does feel like it allows you to “Discover twice the place in half the time.” Nostalgia aside, I enjoyed having the book as part of preparation for a month-long trip in Kyoto and Osaka recently, and it is easier to flip through and navigate than scrolling through sometimes bewildering pages on a screen.Highly recommended.
