Kyoto :A contemplative guide

---

IN PRESENTING this book I hope to fill a gap that exists in the present body of literature about Kyoto, between superficial trav- el pamphlets and scholarly, annotated reference works. I found when I went to Kyoto myself that there was no single book be- tween these areas which answered my questions about the tem- ples and other historic buildings I saw; nor was there a book to help me select which among the thousands of sights to see. I hope the present volume will help solve these and other problems for visitors to Kyoto. The places presented here I chose primarily for their ability to fascinate, whether by a colorful history, a beautiful garden, or a wealth of fine buildings. Lesser considerations were geographical location and ease of access by public transportation. Public trans- portation is excellent in Kyoto, and by using it one learns much more about the city and its geography than he can from the inside of a speeding taxi.
