I was curious if anyone has a recommendation between these two places. (We are staying in Kyoto in the Shimogyo Ward for reference for 5 days)
Arashiyama is obviously closer to us and has quite a few tourist attractions. We also wouldn’t have to spend an entire day there if needed and we could see more of Kyoto. Just likely to be more crowded.
Kobe seems like a beautiful city and could be less overwhelming as another day in Kyoto with the amount of people there.
Some context: Don’t mind taking the train to get places and crowds can wear myself/my partner down pretty quick.
Any recommendations or thoughts are greatly appreciated and thank you for reading!
