Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-01 00:00:00 Alain Brault To tell you the honest truth, I don't know why I didn't buy this sooner. OK, I do know why I didn't buy it sooner. "A guide book on Kyoto? Yeah, right. Why does someone living in Kansai need one of them?" Arrogance, at its best. Well, I humble myself to say that I'm now kicking myself for not getting it years ago. Every resident of Kansai, at least - and local residents who visit Kyoto regularly, for that fact - should buy this guide and Clancy's latest, Machiya Restaurant Guide. Both are indispensable guides. That work well together. Clancy is obviously a birdlover and nature lover and notes the local flora and fauna throughout the city. Having done a lot of work dealing with Kyoto recently, I appreciate Clancy's work even more. If you want to do your friends and family a favour, buy them Kyoto the City of Zen. Her prose is excellent. And yes, I will be raving about that when I'm done reading it.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-08-06 00:00:00 Tiffany Creech Thirty walking tours -- I did several of them (or portions) and found Clancy's information helpful, though I wish some of the maps that accompany the text were a little easier to read. Or at least the one for Arashiyama.
