This update continues the depth phase — four more temples that had only been mentioned in passing inside district guides now have full treatment — and adds two new day trips beyond Kyoto.

What's new this week

  • Temples & Shrines: Tenryū-ji, Daitoku-ji, Jingō-ji, and Mimuroto-ji — four temples previously only referenced from other guides.
  • Plan: Two new day trips — Kobe and Lake Biwa — plus a practical guide to booking ryokan and hotels.

Also this week: Korean

Totally Kyoto's second language went live this week — Korean, covering the homepage and the Plan department's flagship guide, alongside the Traditional Chinese coverage that now spans three departments. Look for the language switcher in the header on any page that has a translation.

What's next: more temple and shrine depth, and extending Korean into a second department to match Chinese's pace. As always, the contact page is open for requests.
