What you’ll do

This itinerary includes absolutely stunning and beautiful locations (including tips and tricks on how to experience them in the best way possible) that I think absolutely everyone has to see.

Perfect itinerary for those who plan to visit Kyoto for their first time or if you've been already but only for a short period of time and visited only the most famous spots such as such as Golden Temple, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera which by the way I did not include in this itinerary, because almost everyone knows about them.

And of course if you've been following my Instagram for long enough, you know that these itineraries include absolutely delicious restaurants and cafes where you can try out some of the best dishes of local cuisine.

Travel time (from Kyoto Station):

Day 1 - 40 min (subway + bus) or 30 min by car

Day 2 - 30 min (train) or 30 min by car

Day 3 - 35 min (train) or 35 min by car

Day 4 - 40 min (train) or 50 min by car

  • All of the locations are accessible by public transport.

  • Mentioned travel time is approximate and may vary depending on your departure time and traffic conditions.

  • If you plan to spend less than 4 days in Kyoto, choose those day trips that you are interested in the most.

  • These day trips are not interconnected and may be experienced in any order

For this day trip, I recommend staying in one of the hotels in Kyoto where I personally enjoyed my stay the most. These hotels are listed as the next locations on this itinerary (three of them are listed here). If, for any reason, you are unable to book any of these three hotels, you can find my other hotel recommendations (which are equally great) on my map or under the "things to do" list by selecting the option to show only hotels. All of my recommended hotels cater to a wide variety of preferences for every type of traveler, including different budget ranges, modern or traditional options, and more. They are especially perfect, considering their location right in the heart of Kyoto and their convenience for one-day trips (due to their 5-minute walking distance to either Subway or JR stations).
