Kyoto Itineraries: Plans That Fit the Time You Have

Kyoto's difficulty is not distance. The famous sights sit in separate corners of a basin, and the buses between them crawl when the city is busy. These plans sequence the temples, the hills and the day trips around how many days you have and around when the crowds build.
