2. Sagano Romantic train and miyajima ropeway need to book in advance?
3. My trip will be during mid to end of may, will flowers such as nemophila, hydrangea and wisteria still be in bloom?
4. Recommended places to rent kimono in kyoto?
5. Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel or hep five ferris wheel?
6. Thoughts on renting bikes in kyoto / nara?
