3 Days in Kyoto: The First-Timer's Itinerary
Three days is the sweet spot for Kyoto: enough time for the icons without sprinting. Day one climbs Fushimi Inari's torii-gate trails and drifts through Gion's lantern-lit lanes; day two covers central Kyoto — Nishiki Market's food stalls, Nijo Castle, the Imperial Palace park — and the Golden Pavilion shimmering over its pond; day three belongs to Arashiyama, from the bamboo grove at dawn to Tenryu-ji's garden and the river. With a free afternoon, Uji's matcha houses and Byodo-in are an easy half-day trip away.

2 Days in Kyoto: Temples, Tea Houses & Old Streets
Two days is tight for Kyoto, but it's enough for the greatest hits: sunrise at Fushimi Inari's thousand torii gates, Kiyomizu's wooden stage over the city, Gion's lantern-lit lanes, the bamboo grove at dawn, and the Golden Pavilion shimmering over its pond. This is a classic first-timer's route — temples in the morning, old streets in the afternoon, and Pontocho's riverside restaurants at night.
