Discover Kyoto: A 3-Day Itinerary at a Comfortable Pace

Discover Kyoto: A 3-Day Itinerary at a Comfortable Pace

Mari
I’ve designed this itinerary to offer a realistic and enjoyable experience of Kyoto. Many itineraries I’ve seen online are often overly packed, pushing you to rush through numerous sights and activities. This can lead to a vacation where you miss out on unique experiences because you were too focused on seeing everything. I believe a vacation should be enjoyable and immersive, not a race to tick off as many sights as possible. This itinerary gives you ample time to explore at your own pace, allowing you to fully appreciate each destination and discover hidden gems along the way. It’s not just about seeing everything; it’s about creating meaningful memories. To help you make the most of your time, I’ve included a free link to a resource with additional activity suggestions. Simply add these to your Google Maps to find more things to do, from local restaurants (include vegetarian and vegan options) to beautiful temples and shrines, based on where you are and what interests you. If you find yourself with extra time or looking for something new to explore, you’ll have convenient options right at your fingertips. Enjoy your vacation, take your time, and embrace those unexpected moments that make travel truly special.

Day 1

General Information

Day 1 focuses on two of Kyoto’s impressive sites: Fushimi Inari Taisha and Tofuku-ji Temple. Start early to enjoy Fushimi Inari’s iconic torii gates without the rush. After lunch go to the Tofuku-ji's Zen gardens

Additional Information

- Comfortable Shoes: Wear comfortable walking shoes, as you’ll be exploring the shrine and hiking up the stairs.

- Weather: Check the weather forecast and dress accordingly. It can be hot and sunny or cool and rainy, depending on the season.

- Time Management: If you prefer a shorter visit, you can explore only the initial part of the trail and still experience the beauty of Fushimi Inari Taisha.
