Hi all!
I’m traveling alone to Japan and have 2.5 days in Kyoto and would love your thoughts on how feasible this would be. I’d really love to have time to enjoy things, and any insight on moving things around so they work better would be awesome!
I’d love to visit Kinkakuji, and I think Day 2 after Arashiyama might fit there, but that seems like a lot (considering the longer bus rides). I also thought I could take [a klook tour](https://www.klook.com/en-US/activity/16167-nara-day-tour-kyoto/), but I don’t know if the convenience trade for not being able to pick less busy times to visit would be worth it.
Thank you so much for your help in advance!
