This update rounds out the last of the "coming soon" stubs from earlier weeks, and adds two guides that weren't on the original roadmap but felt like real gaps: Nijō Castle, and a practical safety and health guide.

What's new this week

  • Plan: A second day trip — Osaka, under 30 minutes away — plus a safety, health and emergency guide.
  • Temples & Shrines: Tōfuku-ji, Nanzen-ji, and Nijō Castle — three significant sights that had no guide until now.
  • Culture: Ikebana basics.
  • Food: Kyō-yasai, Kyoto's heirloom vegetables.
  • Seasons: Hydrangea (ajisai) season — the rainy-season alternative to Kyoto's bigger blossom seasons.

What's next

Now that the core structure is well filled in, upcoming updates will lean more into depth — more temples per district, more practical guides (traveling with kids, accessibility), and traditional crafts like Nishijin textiles and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery.

As always: if there's a specific gap you've noticed, the contact page is the fastest way to get it prioritised.
