Help me plan my Kyoto itinerary (2-3 Days)

Hello,

I found different Kyoto itinerary but some of them seems to be impossible to complete. I have a list of things I’d like to see in Kyoto but I’m not sure the best way or order to see all of these. I could skip some of them based on your advice.

I will arrive from Osaka to Kyoto in the evening of Day 1.Day 2 will be full Kyoto. Day 3 will be in Nara. I don’t know if I still have some spare time after coming back from Nara. Day 4 will be full Kyoto

Fushimi Inari seems to be far off from everywhere. The only nearby things to see seems to be Tofuku-ji and Sanjusangen-do (even if they are not that close). I was thinking to go here the first day. Maybe around sunset time which should be less busy.

The most dense area is Higashiyama where I plan to see these things:

1. Kiyomizu-dera
2. Sannenzaka
3. Ninenzaka
4. Kodai-ki
5. Maruyama Park
6. Yasaka Temple
7. Chion-in
8. Shoren-in Garden
9. Shoren-in Temple

I now have the choice to keep going up and see:

* Heian Shrine
* Eikan-do Temple
* Philosopher Path
* Gindaku-ji

Otherwise, after Philosepher Path I could go to:

* Nishiki Market
* Pontocho Alley
* Niko Castel
* Kyoto Imperial Palace

For the second day these are the things I planned:

* Daitoku-ji
* Kinkaku-ji
* Ryoan-ji

Finally all the Arashiyama area:

* Monkey Park
* Togestu-kyo Bridge
* Tenryu-ji
* Bamboo Forest
* Okochi Sanso Garden
* Saga Toriimoto Street
