Destination
Kyoto
Kyoto gets easier when you stop treating it as one giant sightseeing list. Group days by district and protect slower mornings.
Best first question
Which direction today?
East, west and north Kyoto work better as separate days than as one citywide checklist.
京都Good starting point
3–4 nights
Enough time for district-based sightseeing and at least one less rushed day.
