Hello! It's my first time traveling to Japan mid Sept and I need help in mapping out my 3 days stay in Kyoto. I will be there for 2 weeks, Osaka-Kyoto-Tokyo. Rest of the cities are already planned. I'm only worried about my Kyoto trip.
Can you please send me recommendations or ideas on how to plan my itinerary in Kyoto? I know that there's a lot of tourists in Japan and as much as possible I want to avoid the crowds in Fushimi Inari Taisha and Arashiyama. I don't mind waking up super early if needed.
I'm gonna be staying at a ryokan near Gion district. Thanks in advance!
