Kyoto, Japan: Walking and Transit Map
Sectional laserprint or inkjet map shows Kyoto's bus routes, rail routes, temples, museums, and other landmarks. Find your way around like an expert!
On deciding to spend a month in Japan in 2000, the first thing we did was go out and buy a Lonely Planet guidebook, a Japanese-English dictionary, and a street atlas of Kyoto. Over the next few weeks, while any sensible gaijin (foreigner) would have studied Japanese, I spent my time making a transit map of Kyoto as good as the MUNI map we use in San Francisco. Our hotel was off in the north edge of the city, not near any rail station, nor near most of the sights, so any exploration was going to require us to know our way around. The map worked beautifully - we could say "Let's go to Kinkakuji, then mosey down this way past these fi ve temples
The official Kyoto transit map is of course in Japanese, but it doesn't show the full street network. (The English language transit map for tourists is disappointing). JNTO's excellent tourist map of Kyoto shows local streets, temples, sights and rail lines. I used it as my base map.
