Night 6: Ryokan 2 (day in Kyoto)
Night 7-8: Peninsula (1 day Nara and 1 Tokyo)
I do want to visit Nara on day 6 or day 7 though (and only have one day in Tokyo) so I'm wondering if there is a place I could leave my suitcases (I'm taking a big suitcase since I'll be in Asia for two weeks) in Nara (perhaps at the train station there are lockers?). Also, how long would the trip from Nara to Kyoto be? Are there direct trains from Nara to Tokyo? It sounds to me like just going to Nara on day 6 might be more convenient since I have the Ryokan #2 to leave my suitcase in.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Would you mind if asked you which ryokan are you planning to stay?
I'll have a night in a ryokan in Kyoto and I actually keep two reservations: one in Gion Hatanaka and one in Ryokan Nenrinbo. Any experience here, specially about the second one? It's clear it's quite out of town but I still want to try a ryokan and Hatanaka is charging Y 89k for the night...
