Hey everyone. I’ll be in Kyoto from October 1st – October 5th and I’m having a little bit of trouble with fitting Kinkaku-ji into my itinerary. I’m trying to make my traveling routes as short as possible (don’t want to be wasting time on nonsensical travel). This is my first trip to Kyoto (and Japan as a whole). I haven’t put in any stops for food really, as I tend to eat whenever and am really flexible about that. Will pop into konbini/restaurants along the way. EDIT : layout
-Oct 1st
– Arrive in Kyoto at 6am (will be taking night bus from Kawaguchiko)
– Kinkaku-ji (today instead of Oct 3rd?)
– Shinkyogoku shopping street
– Samurai And Ninja Museum
– Nishiki Market (and grab some food)
– Check into hostel
– Pontocho Alley.
– Have an early night
