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.

Yes, if you want to visit some high-quality quieter spots, rather than just the big-name hotspots.
Compared to Kyoto’s major sights, yes – a lot quieter. One or two spots are included because they are big names and still very underrated. Some places can get busy in the peak cherry blossom and autumn leaves seasons. But on the whole, these spots are off the beaten track, and far less busy than the hotspots.
If you’ve got a full day or half a day to spare, you can pick one of the areas, find the itinerary, and off you go!
Kyoto looks stunning all year round. There is no “best” season.
