This plan is recommended for those who want to see everything in a limited amount of time, but if you don't like the following, please split the days into different days! ① Eat before or after visiting these places ② This is a very hectic schedule, so you don't want to be rushing around ※Daigoji Temple is far away, so it's difficult to see all the places in one night, so it's been excluded from this schedule Now, onto the hectic schedule! The itinerary is as follows: Hirano Shrine → Toji Temple → Kiyomizu-dera Temple → Kodaiji Temple → Maruyama Park → Shirakawa-suji 18:00 | Arrive Hirano Shrine 18:30 | Travel to Toji Temple by bus for 45 minutes Get on city bus 205 at "Kinugasa School Front" Change to "Shichijo Omiya Kyoto Aquarium Front" Get on city bus 207 and get off at "Toji East Gate Front" 19:15 | Arrive Toji Temple 19:45 | Travel to Kiyomizu-dera Temple by taxi for 15 minutes and walk for 10 minutes *It takes 40 minutes if you travel by bus 20:10 | Arrive Kiyomizu-dera Temple 20:40 | Travel to Kodaiji Temple by walk for 15 minutes 20:55 | Arrive Kodaiji Temple 21:30 | Travel to Maruyama Park by walk for 5 minutes 21:35 | Arrive Maruyama Park 21:40 | Travel to Shirakawa-suji Travel: 10 minutes on foot, 21:50 | Arrive Shirakawa-suji It's super hard, so I recommend you don't push yourself too hard, but if you don't have time, please refer to this💁 That's it!
