Go to Kiyomizu-dera at the very earliest you can on one day and on another day, do the same for Golden Temple. I found that our guide said they were the worst but first thing, basically empty. I recall going to kiyomizu at about ten to 6 in the morning. Amazing and great pictures. Also, accept that you won't see everything. I've been to Kyoto 4 times and not seen all that I want.
