Hello,

My partner and I have three full days to visit Kyoto (plus a fourth for Nara) in September. What do you think of my itinerary for the temples and monuments, please? I’ve picked out many places with lovely green moss and beautiful natural surroundings. Are there any that overlap and we can skip, or others that are absolute must-sees (I haven’t included the crowded and isolated Kinkaku-ji, which doesn’t really appeal to me)? I’ve put in brackets the ones I’m less interested in, or for which I don’t think we’ll have time.

We’re keen walkers and we love art (meaning we don’t get bored as quickly as the average person). And we’ll be able to afford taxis between sites that are further apart.

Thank you very much!

Day 1

(Tenryu-ji)

Ōkōchi Sansō

Giō-ji

Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple

Otagi Nenbutsuji

Daikaku-ji

Day 2

Day 3

Kiyomizu-dera (and before it's open we'll visit the northern streets)

Kōdai-ji (it opens only at 9, do you know what we could do meanwhile?)

Chionin Temple

Eikan-dō Zenrin-ji

Hōnenin Temple

Ginkaku-ji

Coucou,

Avec mon compagnon nous avons trois jours entiers pour visiter Kyoto (+ un 4e pour Nara) en septembre. Que pensez-vous de mon itinéraire des temples et monuments svp ? J'ai sélectionné pas mal d'endroits avec de la belle mousse verte et un beau cadre naturel. Y'en a-t-il des redondants qu'on peut zapper, ou d'autres à faire absolument (je n'ai pas mis le bondé et isolé Kinkaku-ji, qui me fait moins de l'oeil)? J'ai mis entre parenthèses ceux qui m'intéressent moins ou pour lesquels je pense ne pas avoir de temps.

Nous sommes de gros marcheurs, et nous aimons l'art ( = nous saturons moins vite que la moyenne). Et nous pourrons nous payer des taxis entre les sites éloignés.

Merci beaucoup !
