The set includes 13 episodes.
But the number of stories is more than that.
In some of the episodes have her visiting more than one place.
Each visit to a town or city is a story some short some longer.
Like it was said by the other poster stated her companion for all her travels is talking motorcycle.
The cycle acts as an plot device to help Kino expound on the situations as they happen of give information about what has happened before and what they expect to happen in the town that they are going to next.
The cycle has a habit of every one and a while saying the wrong word.
I don't know, because of my limited Japanese speaking skill, if the wrong word is a Japanese homonym or just a random word.
If it's a homonym it may be some pun that the Japanese would get, but to me its just a random word.
