Kyoto questions
How many days do you need in Kyoto?
Four or five days covers the main districts without rushing. With a sixth day, take the train to Nara, about 45 minutes away.
When is the best time to visit Kyoto?
Cherry blossom season in late March and early April, and autumn leaves in November, are the most beautiful and the busiest. Summer is hot and humid.
How do I get from Tokyo to Kyoto?
The Tokaido Shinkansen bullet train takes about two hours and fifteen minutes on the fastest service.
Can I see geisha in Gion?
You may see geiko and maiko on their way to appointments around Hanami-koji in the evening. Don't stop or photograph them; some private lanes in Gion now ban photography.
