KYOTO Sights and Flavours
About
We've been to these cities.
More than once. More than twice.
Before You Go exists because the best travel knowledge doesn't appear in standard guidebooks.
It lives in the timing. In the back street
three minutes from the famous temple where the food is better and the prices are honest.
In the cultural context that makes a stone garden mean something instead of just looking nice.
We write what we know — the opening times that are actually accurate, the sights that are worth the crowd and the ones that aren't,
the restaurants that have been serving the same dish for a hundred years.
Local knowledge. Packaged for travelers.
That's all we do.
