Review Quotes

"Exploring Kyoto by long-term resident Judith Clancy is an excellent guide to exploring Kyoto on foot."

-Lonely Planet Japan

Reviews of author's previous Kyoto Machiya Restaurant Guide

"Opens our eyes to the beauty of details.... In these days of digital tablet guides, it's heartwarming to find publishers still dedicated to producing books that have texture and spatial depth, the warmth that only paper, with its shadows and grain, can transmit."

--Japan Times

"Judith Clancy has done a great job of making her expertise available to the visitor to Kyoto with this travel guide, in a small edition to fit easily into a bag or backpack."

--Vegetable Japan blog
