2.5 days itinerary for Kyoto. Please suggest

Hi,

I posted it earlier, but didn’t get much attention, so seeing help again.

We are visiting Kyoto for very short time, so tried to pack things for two days. Please help me to fix it, if something can be added or route sequence should be changed. So far based on past discussions and some other posts, I was able to figure below. Our hotel is near to station :

**Day-1** : Reach Kyoto in evening. After dropping luggage in hotel, if we have time then – From Kyoto station, taxi to Yasaka Shrine entrance gate and visit Hanami-koji. Later have dinner somewhere and back to hotel.

**Day-2** : Train from Kyoto station to Nara. Take taxi from Nara station to Ukimido. Deer Park and then Todai-ji Temple. After spending here sometime, take taxi back to JR Nara station. (If not tired and have time, From Ukimido, another option is to walk slightly uphill to Kasuga Taisha, where there is a trail slightly downhill leading to Nigatsu-do, which offers views of Nara city). Get the train back and get down at Fushimi Inari Shrine. By end of day, get back to hotel.

**Day-3** : From Kyoto station just take frequent rapid service JR commuter train to Arashiyama in 10 min direct. Get down at Saga-Arashiyama Station. Take taxi for 1 KM till Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. After visiting Bamboo forest, get the taxi to Kinkaku-ji. Spend 1 hour here. Then take taxi to Kita-Oji subway station. Get into train to Karasuma-Shijo station by subway. Then taxi to Kiyomizu temple. If time left, then walk to Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka, return to hotel.

**Day-4** : We will get 15:30 train from Kyoto to Haneda. So we will have time from morning 9 AM till 15:00. Not sure yet, if we should see something else here in Kyoto itself or outside Kyoto.

Please advice, if above can work ? What would you suggest/edit?

Thanks
