Thanks for your info. Now I see why they are not showing on the website. Let me contact them and see how's their respond.

Thank you so much for your help!

My friend commented on my completed itinerary that I packed too many things in my Kyoto 2.5 days.
My current plan:
1) Nijo Castle, Nishiki Market, Kawaramachi Takashimaya (get Disneysea ticket), Kyoto Station (JR pass)
2) Kiyomizudera, Higashiyama till Yasaka Shrine, bus to Ginkakuji, Philosopher path, hanamikoji, shirakawa canal, gion
3) Arashiyama, Kinkakuji, Potoncho, Maruyama Koen night hanami

Looking at the list, seems that I am backtracking slightly. First night go Kawaramachi just to buy tickets. Second day go north to Ginkakuji and then back to Gion again. Third night go Maruyama Koen again when I pass by it on second day when going to Yasaka Shrine. My hotel first two night is near Kyoto Station while last night at Kawaramachi Station.

Should I remove some of the places from the list? I am not sure if Ginkakuji worth the entrance fee. Philosopher Path and Shirakawa canal both look at water + sakura. Which one less crowded or look nicer?

I am thinking switching Takashimaya till third night when I stay at Kawaramachi Station area. But, if I also switch gion/shirakawa canal till third night, I can have more time walking along Philosopher path. But, I worry later third day become too packed instead.

So, any suggestions on reorganizing these areas? Thanks.

I strongly believe you actually mean Mount Haruna. Even if you drive GT86, you may be sorry to find you can't use that much of that power since it is public road with speed humps, and then although won't traffic jam but there will be normal traffic.

If you collect hard rock stuff, there's one in Roppongi.
Look out for hello kitty themed stuffs.

Toyota rental has it
Check out https://rent.toyota.co.jp/en/rental/main09.html
Scroll down a bit and you'll see it.

Neither for both.

That was low spec. Want high spec need special order. Which is around 48000 Yen per day.
High spec got TRD Tune + TRD body spec. feel more smooth on mountain road

normal one high chances you will get Automatic gear which will spoil the fun

Everything was safe and fine...here ,you can make a kid here..Made In Japan.. during your holiday

Seem you arrive at 12am..at Osaka..everything was closed..not sure trains,bus from KIX airport to Kyoto only 3,500 yen for one way.

There no cheap hotel at KIX , but you can stay at Hotel Seagull very good rates...its take 10 minutes by free shuttle bus from KIX to Hotel.

http://www.hotelseagull.com/

You can take free shuttle from KIX to Rinku Premium Outlet ,only 10 minutes.

http://www.premiumoutlets.co.jp/en/rinku/

Recommended to go ... Osaka Aquarium , Osaka Castle , USJ ,

Hope its help you.

what is the earliest train to Kyoto from KIX airport?
to save money I might just sleep in the airport while waiting for the train to Kyoto, is it safe to do so?


my plan is to go to Kyoto during the first half of my 1 week trip, then only come back to Osaka on 4th day

btw Seagull hotel is too much, I am solo traveler

''Haruka'' Limited Express was fastest and most efficiency way.
Earliest ''Haruka'' train was 6.30am Morning and the price will be 3170 Yen Including Tax. Arrived Kyoto Station around 8.00am Morning

ANA launching direct Narita flight from Sep onwards. 7am departure tho.. which means that arrival at Narita is 3pm and you lose most of the first day.
Dreamliner B787

But ANA fares are always expensive.

Not Really. RM1500 Per Way. Reasonable
