- Private Kyoto dayFor a route with a few well-chosen stops, timing that accounts for traffic, and a vehicle that remains with your group.
- Suggested paceFushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera and Gion can make a useful day from Osaka. Arashiyama, Nara or further stops should be planned around the available hours rather than squeezed in blindly.
