Kyoto Temples and Sightseeing
Kyoto is famous for its temples and shrines, so it's no surprise that this is on your itinerary for the first day. Some of the must-visit temples in Kyoto include Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Fushimi Inari-taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, and Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion). Keep in mind that these places can get crowded, so it's best to visit them early in the morning to avoid the crowds.
Kyoto Food and Shopping
Kyoto is also known for its delicious food and unique shopping experiences. For food, be sure to try out traditional Kyoto cuisine such as kaiseki, which is a multi-course meal, or obanzai, which is a home-style cooking. For shopping, head to the Nishiki Market, where you can find a variety of local food and souvenirs, or to the traditional streets of Gion, where you can find traditional crafts and souvenir shops.
Kyoto Sightseeing and Souvenirs
You can continue exploring the temples and shrines in Kyoto, or visit other popular attractions such as the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and the Philosopher's Path. Don't forget to pick up some souvenirs to take back home, such as traditional Japanese pottery, textiles, or sweets.
Kyoto Shrines and Street Food
On the final day, you can visit some of the famous shrines in Kyoto, such as the Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, or the Yasaka Shrine. You can also explore the city's street food scene, which is a popular attraction for both locals and tourists. Some of the must-try street foods include takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and matcha-flavored sweets.
Transportation in Kyoto
Kyoto has an extensive public transportation system, including buses and trains, which makes it easy to get around the city. The city also has a bike-sharing system, which is a great way to explore the city at your own pace. Keep in mind that Kyoto can get crowded, especially during peak tourist season, so plan accordingly and be patient.
I hope this helps you and your viewers plan a great trip to Kyoto! If you have any other questions or need more information, feel free to ask.

Wow, you convinced me it’s fun to be there!

I just came back from Kyoto eight days ago, it was so hot and extremely humid and overcrowded with tourists . I was overwhelmed . Being in Gion area was even worse,next time I will go in late October and hopefully it will be less touristy. I finally just hung out near Kyoto station and my hotel area with less tourists. That was more enjoyable for me !

hmmm,... hiking up to Doshisha Cemetery isn't too hard and the cemetery itself is beautiful and interesting. I'm utterly in love with Meiji Era people.
