Why dont you buy till exit at tengachaya then?

will it be too late to buy when i reach the airport?
as i will be arriving late and judging by the comments here, by the time clear the customs, it will be 10.30pm

after some research and countless reading of blogs and contribution from this thread, here is my itinerary.
the temples in Kyoto are just for reference. i don't enjoy touch n go and will stay in the area if i like it and skip other places. smile.gif
Day 1 will be 15 Nov, and deliberately organised in such away so i get to enjoy Kyoto more on weekdays (i could be wrong though reading so many is planning to reach some POI before 7am) biggrin.gif

Osaka
Day 1 - Arrival and check in. Mid night by the time reach AirBNB

Day 2 - Osaka Amazing pass (skipping the aquarium and tempozan area though)

Kyoto
Day 3 - Fushimi Inari Shrine > Tokufuji Temple > Kyoto National Museum > Sanjusangendo Temple > Kyoto Railway Museum > Ninnaji Temple > Ryoanji Temple > Golden Pavilion

Day 4 - Kiyomizudera Temple > Higashiyama District > Kodaiji Temple > Kennin-ji Temple > Lunch in GION > Maruyama Park > Chionin Temple > Nanzenji Temple > Eikando Temple > Heian Shrine > Yoshida Hill Temples & Shrine > Philosopher's Path > Honenin Temple > Silver Pavilion

Day 5 - Arashimaya Bamboo Grove > Tenryuji Temple > Monkey Park Iwatayama > Togetsukyo Bridge & Sagano for shopping > Lunch at Shigetsu at Tenryuji Temple >
Okochi Sanso Villa > Jojakkoji Temple > Gioji Temple > Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple > Otagi Nenbutsuji Temple > Daikakuji Temple

Day 6 - Northern Higashimaya Area > Murin-an Villa > Konchi-in Temple > Tenju-An Temple > Honen-in Temple > Yoshida-yama Mountain
or Sagano Romatic Train

Osaka
Day 7 - Don't know yet. I am quite clueless about crowded place sweat.gif

Day 8 - Nara Deer Park > Kofuku-ji Temple

Day 9 - Osaka then 6pm > KIX

feedback is welcome if i can squeeze or exlcude some area. counting cost for temple admission is bangwall.gif

Your itinerary looks awfully packed especially for your days in Kyoto but since you are willing to skip certain places, maybe you can highlight those that you REALLY want to visit and the others as optional if you have time.

For day 7, you could consider visiting To-ji temple before heading to Osaka. Your day 7 should be on 21 Nov and the temple hosts a big flea market on 21st of every month. Worth a visit since it coincides with you being there.

Banyak temple... after a dozen or so temples, they will begin to look the same. Try mixing in different sights and activities

For example, make the trip north to Kibune, or east to Otsu and Lake Biwako, or if u really rajin, amanohashidate

I am amazed you visited some just so so temples and missed worth going temple like konkaikoumyouji, shinnyodou, douji, houkongouin, and daitokuji oubaiin.

golden and silver Pavillion closed at 5 pm.arashimaya and Sagano location should be same day

nara can skip. nothing there only deer

Thanks guys! Yupe, it’s just a reference for the temple as some of it is along the way, not out of the way and I prefer some non touristy temple.

Agreed and maybe I should mix some scenery so I don’t get bored 😁

Any idea for Osaka?
