If you’re planning your first trip to Kyoto and you *only* care about seeing the big-name sights, or you can’t walk more than a mile without collapsing, then this guide isn’t for you.

But if you’re the kind of traveller who values quiet quality, who wants to avoid crowds as much as possible, or you’re coming back to Kyoto for the second, third, or thirtieth time, and want to scout out somewhere new, keep reading!

Why Trust Me?


I’m Andrew, the author of this book, and creator of the YouTube channel, Japan Unravelled. My Kyoto videos have over a quarter of a million combined views. I was a Kyoto local for three years, and now I’m a long-term Japan resident.

I’ve spent years and countless visits exploring the best hidden gems that Kyoto has to offer. It astonishes me that 99% of visitors stick to the overhyped hotspots, and don’t try to experience the authentic Kyoto.

That’s why I put together this book: to help you explore the Kyoto that very few tourists ever see.
