my 2nd uji/nara trip was
9am Uji
12pm Nara, Todaiji Daibutsu only.
Night Fushimi Inari.

n i mentioned before, very hard to enjoy Nara but easier to relax while enjoying at Uji.
since Nara is everyone choice, but not Uji, hence lesser crowd.
ppl from Osaka wont go Uji, only from Kyoto might.

the deer is nice for beginning but get annoying tho.

hi buddy.. would like to have your view on morning / night timing on fushimi during autumn period.. which was your best experience? biggrin.gif

any recommended places to visit for night views in kyoto ?

Fushimi Inari, both give different experience. try to do both if u can. my night time experience, unable to climb up til mid area overhead view of Kyoto city due to previous typhoon.
night time seem more beautiful. but my day time able to view Kyoto city.

night view? if u mean night illumination, i only visit Eikanko, Toji-ji n Kibuneyama's Kifune Jinjia + Momiji Tunnel.
*
Thanks buddy, I'll take a look on these places to decide which is best for my travel plan.. biggrin.gif

By the way guys, what is the best mode of transport to go Kyoto from KIX Airport? As I will be arriving at KIX around 930pm.. hmm.gif

The last Haruka Express leaves KIX at 10.16pm. That's a big risk if you have to clear immigration, collect your luggage (if you have any) and collect your ICOCA card if you don't have one.

You're better off taking the JR train from KIX to Osaka then change trains from Osaka to Kyoto.
*
yeah.. that's what I'm worry about too.. sweat.gif

still contemplating on whether to use Osaka Amazing Pass / ICOCA card for my travel around OSAKA.. will be staying in OSAKA for 5 days, which includes 1 day in USJ.

If you are planning to go for the main attractions around Osaka, the Amazing Pass offers best value for admission and subway/bus trips. 100% worth it and recommended.
*
yeah.. i think if we are travelling according to those places in the Osaka Amazing Pass, it's worth it if compared to usage of IC.. save the hassle too..

first day arrive kyoto prolly near or is midnight already
2nd say hectic day for kiyomizudera till nishiki market
3rd day is arashiyama

so i don't think i would be able to buy or pickup the ticket(if i even pre-purchase)
now is prolly check 1 night before if there is still ticket to decide to go umahori or just arashiyama and skip the train

initially is arashiyama thn sagano train to kameoka thn boat trip back
but after knowing the price of the boat trip, had to change to current plan laugh.gif
*
i believe other than the train and boat ride.. the Arashiyama town itself is beautiful enough for you to explore.. smile.gif

I totally agree! My wife and I spent a whole day in Arashiyama. We didn't do the train and boat ride but we explored the northern side where there are some beautiful temples and gardens, and so much quieter than the main town area. Plus, the main town area has plenty of things to see, taste and explore.  smile.gif

Yeah.. cant wait to explore that place in mid Nov.. hopefully the autumn is at its peak by then (just pray).. smile.gif

Yup, you buy both from the JR ticket office. Note that the ticket office is not in the airport but in the train station next to the airport. Just follow the signs once you exit the arrival gate.

As my calculations on my previous trip you need atleast 45mins to 1h from the moment u get out from plane till exit the custom declaration officers. If you kena ask to open luggage then more time gone at there.

May i know when is your travelling date. smile.gif

Thanks for the comments guys.. laugh.gif

Yeah im very worried bout the timing too.. seemed too short to go around the airport n train, etc etc.. first timer to Japan, still..

I'll be arriving on 7th Nov.. guessed that limo bus would be the best choice.. stress free.. just that the price is a lil on high side.. doh.gif

No probs  biggrin.gif

Is it advisable for senior citizens to go Japan in Nov then? I have some in our travel group together and I worry they cannot take too cold weather.

i think Nov weather is still not too bad.. not the extreme cold yet..
