Hi everyone,

I am going to Japan for the first time, in December this year! I'm going for 21 days, and am set on my itinerary.

However, my Kyoto days are a little confusing... Here are my questions:

  1. Do they look okay?
  2. If not, what would you recommend instead?
  3. Are there better options than the things I've picked so far?
  4. Any suggestions for 'specifics' I can add in between (e.g. cooking class etc.)?

Here is my itinerary for Kyoto:

Day 1

Kanazawa Station -> Kyoto Station

  • Yasaka Jinja Shrine
  • Kiyomizu-dera
  • Check into accommodation (just north of Kyoto station)
  • Gion (in the evening)

Day 2

  • Hashimotocho stroll
  • Philosopher's Path (Yes, I am aware that it will be winter. Hopefully I can catch the tail end of Autumn foilage haha)
  • Keage Incline
  • Higashiyama Jisho-ji (Ginkakuji Temple)
  • Nishiki Market & Pontocho Alley
  • Funaoka Onsen

Day 3

  • Fushimi Inari Taisha (yes, I am arriving before sunrise)
  • Otagi Nenbutsu-ji (maybe skip depending on time?)
  • Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
  • Tenryuji Temple

Kyoto -> Osaka

Thanks for reading thus far! Any recommendations are also welcome.
