Hello! I thought I’d break down our larger 2 week itinerary into parts by area to make it easy to leave feedback if you have any.
Looking for: food and drinks recommendations (higher budget suggestions welcome), relaxed experiences, any unique experiences (trip is a honeymoon so feel free to suggest wildcard options) and timings on the itinerary – we are aiming to stay a little more relaxed than a tick box whistlestop tour. Would prefer more time at less things that you can soak in as opposed to cramming!
**Day -1:**
Check in at hotel (coming from a Nara day trip)
We’re staying very central at the eph Kyoto, so evening recommendations near here after a busy day would be great? Difficult to get a sense of evening travel through maps.
**Day 1:**
Recommended AM:
Head to Arishiyama
Tenruji Temple
Walk the bamboo forest
Okochi-Sanso tea room?
Cross the river to Senkoji Temple
Recommended PM:
Sagano Romantic Railway – Saga Torokko to Kameoka Torokko (approx 25 minutes)
Walk through Kameyama Castle ruins
Hozugawa riverboat tour return (approx. 2 hours)
Bonus: Taxi to Kinkakuji Temple
**Day 2**

Fushimi Inari shrine

Thank you again for any suggestions or recommendations – I appreciate it.
