LOUISE BARBARA'S GUIDE TO KYOTO

My favourite things to eat, see and do in Kyoto, Japan.

I am skipping a guide to the Takasago area as I am by no means an expert. If you want to know the best things to do in the Himeji area, be sure to check out my friend Melissa's blog for tips. 

Kyoto was probably my favourite place in all of Japan. It was so pretty and there were so many things to eat, see and do. It was hard to stick to just my absolute favourites for this list!
