Hello! I would like some feedback regarding my 4-5 day itinerary for Kyoto in May! This will be a 2 person trip and will be the first time for the both of us in Kyoto. We do not want to fall into the trap of speed running through all the attractions and want to take more of a relaxed approach so I am willing to add another day to slow things down if needed. Currently our draft itinerary is consisted of:
Day 1: Bamboo grove + Monkey Park + Kinkakuji
Day 2: Fushimi Inari shrine + Nara (deer park + Todaiji Temple)
Day 3: Kyoto Imperial Palace + Nishiki Market + Kiyomizu-dera + Gion
Day 4: Nijo Castle + Ginkakuji + Philosophers Path
Day 5: Extra Day
