my first day i reached in the morning straight go kyoto then play around kyoto station
didnt pack much into first day as flight might delay.
then 1 day at arashiyama and its surroundings
1 day at fushimi inari and its surroundings

then i went to nara for a day trip after that.
if you din do nara then you can put more days in kyoto if you like shrines and heritage stuff to cover everything.

else you can put more days in osaka if you like city and the likes of it.
i did 1 full day at USJ also.

kyoto mode of transport is either city bus or train, whichever faster or more convenient.
city bus masuk belakang then come out from front and tap icoca to pay.

public transport is very convenient in japan

Impossible. Too Rush. Unless you no plan to visit Nara historical sight. All you want is See Nara Train Station only.
No direct Train from Nara to Mt. Yoshino

From Nara Kintetsu Station had to go Yamato-Saidaiji Station. From there had to change Train to Kashiharajingu-Mae Station.
From Kashiharajingu-Mae Station change to Kintetsu Limited Express to Yoshino Station.
Whole Train Journey took you 2 hour....2 way journey means 4 hrs on travelling. Plus you need to match Limited Express Train timetable between Yoshino Station & Kashiharajingu-Mae Station.
Actual time you need to spend are even more...at the ends,...you missed all Nara and Yoshino....You should travel for peace not for war.

You didn't put in waiting time for the Train. Once you reach Yoshino Guchi Station from JR Line. The Wating time for Kintetsu Train arrival to station.
To suit Best switching between JR & Kintetsu means you had to sacrafice the visting Nara time. Just too rush...you wont be enjoy....
From Yoshino back to Nara, you also need find best switching time at Yoshino Guchi Station again....This also making your visit time at Mt.Yoshino very limited time.

Most Hectic Part:
Bus Timing between Mt Yoshino to Kintetsu Yoshino Station...This timing also had to match the Train leaving Yoshino Station to Yoshino Guchi Station.
Yoshino Guchi Station also need to find Matching JR Train timetable because JR train are very limited in this station. After all the perfect timing match, leaving how many hour left for you to enjoy Mt. Yoshino?  One part screw up, you will end up waiting 60 minute for next JR Train to Nara direction at JR Yoshino Guchi Station.

Whole trip is no enjoyable. If you alone ok, with family no....

I been Visiting Mt.Yoshino 4 times in my Life, From my observed, even Japanese going Yoshino or leaving Yoshino are taking Limited Express all the way from Osaka. Go by morning and back to Osaka by evening. Almost full day trip for Yoshino, slowy enjoy.

I never heard anyone, even my Japanese hardcore traveller friend also won't put Nara + Yoshino together as one day iternarry. Nara + Uji yes....Nara + Yoshino...wow this is my first time.
