About the author

OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Great book with highlights/must see places. Can't wait to see it for myself!

Tiny but mighty! After great success using the pocket Tokyo guide, we purchased this book before heading south. (The salesperson in the bookstore provided us with a complimentary book cover for it!)

With so many temples, shrines and palaces to see and limited time in the country, this guide was absolutely essential. Although we visited Kyoto but not Osaka, it was still worth it.

Instead of hiring a local tour guide (as some friends suggested prior to departure), we felt that the pocket guides did the job perfectly! We didn’t even need the internet.

Exceedingly highly recommended, primarily for the guided walking tours with detailed maps.

Great guide

I like a lot of the information in here, but I feel like "Kyoto and Osaka" is kind of misleading. Almost everything in here is Kyoto, with only a few Osaka highlights.

I don't typically buy guidebooks but I'm glad I'll have this one with me this summer.

A very useful, concise and quick read on the best of Osaka and Kyoto for itinerary planning!!

It's just the right size: pocket size to carry it around with you. Tells the top sights of Kyoto first and in detail as well later if you want to see. It was very useful to me for exploring Kyoto
