Kyoto questions
Is three days enough for Kyoto?
Three days covers the main districts if routes are grouped by area. Use city buses for travel between sites and buy a day pass to control costs.
Do I need to book tea ceremonies ahead in Kyoto?
Reserve tea ceremonies at least one week in advance during busy months. Expect to pay 2000 to 5000 yen per person.
How long does the Fushimi Inari hike take?
The round trip to the summit takes three to four hours. Start before 8 a.m. to reduce time spent in crowds on the lower paths.
How do I travel between Arashiyama and Higashiyama?
Take the train from Saga-Arashiyama station to Kyoto station then switch to a bus. Allow 45 to 60 minutes and carry a Suica or Icoca card for fares.
