Could anyone advise as to what time i might consider derparting?
My reasoning for the early departure is that i don't have much time to explore Kyoto and i wanted to get as much out of the first day there as possible. I was planning on arriving early the first day, checking in at hotel, and then jetting off to see either Nijo or Arashiyama; or both if possible. Is this too ambitous?
