Kyoto Alone: A Solo Travel Guide for Women 50 and Over

Kyoto, one counter seat at a time.

Take the counter facing the cook at Sushi no Musashi, walk Higashiyama in one easy line, and climb through Fushimi Inari, in a city with a low crime rate.

Eat alone: Nishiki Market, obanzai counters, shojin ryori at Shigetsu.

See: Arashiyama, Tofuku-ji, Nara, and Kurama and Kibune.

Feel safe: bags closed and in front on packed buses.

Day plans, hotels by budget and honest safety notes. EPUB ebook.
