Tourist dressed as Geisha as part of the Geisha experience

I made my way to Kyoto late last week after a few days in Osaka. Kyoto is such an enchanting city. I didn't have enough time to explore it all but spent hours admiring the district of Gion, sampling Japanese treats in the Nishiki Market and trekking through the maze of torri at the Fushimi Inari Shrine. Here are just a few pictures from my short trip. I hope you all enjoy.

LUXE City Guides take travel to a whole new level, combining useful information, design, and snark in one compact package. In other words, this ain't your mother's guide book. The LUXE City Guides are for the chic at heart, who are obsessed with travel and appreciate a bit of GLAM. The fold out guides are small enough to fit in your pocket or small clutch but jam packed with information on accommodations, good eats, activities, shopping itineraries and useful tidbits.
