This update adds nine more guides and closes out most of the "coming soon" stubs from the last two updates — including both districts and the last Plan department gap.
What's new this week
- Plan: Suggested itineraries for 2, 4 and 7 days — the last open stub in this department.
- Districts: Downtown (Kawaramachi & Pontochō) and Fushimi's sake quarter — 4 of 9 districts now have full guides.
- Temples & Shrines: Kiyomizu-dera.
- Stay: Machiya stays, in full.
- Culture: Kimono rental, practical guide.
- Food: Matcha — where it comes from, and where to try it well.
- Seasons: Summer festivals — Gion Matsuri and Daimonji.
What's next
The remaining districts (Kitayama & Kibune, Ohara & Sakyo, Uji, Kameoka & Takao, and Hidden Kyoto), Ginkaku-ji and Ryōan-ji in Temples, and a first look at day trips beyond the city are next in line.
Following along? This is roughly the pace and shape you should expect going forward — a handful of genuinely useful guides added at least weekly, with the department and district hubs updating to reflect exactly what's live.
