2 Days in Kyoto – Itinerary check for group of 5(May 2024)

Hello everyone!
Me, my gf and 3 friends will travel to Japan for the first time next April-May.
Will start with Tokyo(6 days) and then will do Kyoto(2) and Osaka(4).
(Won’t add any Food/Drink options but free to suggest!)

**Day 1 -** Will depart from Tokyo with the Shinkasen around 11-12am.
Our accommodation is quite central, close to Nijo Castle which is gonna be our first visiting point after we check in.
After that we might visit either Maruyama Park or Kyoto’s Gyoen National Garden.

**Day 2** \- We are going to visit the Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama (some say it is a bit overrated I guess because of the crowds) and the Monkey Park.

Of course a lot of walking is on the menu to see a lot of shrines.
Still don’t know if we are gonna do the Kifune Shrine.
On Day 3 we are gonna continue to Osaka.

Any suggestions? Anything we are missing?( I know it is just 2 days)
Thank you very much!
