You have dreamed about Kyoto. Perhaps you have seen the photographs, the vermillion torii gates climbing a forested hillside, the geisha moving through a lantern-lit lane in the early evening, the bamboo grove swaying in a shaft of morning light. Perhaps you have felt, without quite being able to explain it, that this city holds something that most places simply do not. You are right. It does. But here is the problem that most visitors to Kyoto face and that nobody warns them about in advance. Kyoto does not give itself up easily. It is a city of extraordinary depth, extraordinary complexity, and extraordinary cultural richness, and without the right preparation, even the most enthusiastic traveller can find themselves standing in front of one of the most remarkable places on earth and feeling, somehow, that they are not quite reaching it.
