I'll be in Kyoto for the new year. My plan is Joya no Kane at Chion in Temple and Hatsumode at Fushimi Inari(Yes, I know it'll be packed).
My plan is almost going sleepless because the bell ringing ceremony is 12:00 am and I plan to return back to my stay for a short nap which is 1.2km from the Chion in temple and visit Fushimi Inari early morning by leaving at 5am.
Any tips on what I shouldn't miss?
Ps. I'll be traveling by train in the early morning. In Google maps when I set the date and time it's showing a train at 5.20am with a travel time of 20 mins. Will the new year affect the timings?
