Day 1, Friday
• Fushimi Inari
• Kiyomizu-dera + Sannen-zaka/Ninen-zaka streets
• Gion & Pontocho Alley
Day 2, Saturday (Is Otagi Nebutsu-ji closed on Saturday? I can switch day 1 and 2)
• Otagi Nenbutsu-ji (take taxi or bus to stay here and walk south)
• Gio-ji and Jojakko-ji
• Okachi Senso garden
• Tenryu-ji + Bamboo Grove + Togetsukyo Bridge
• Downtown Kyoto (Pokémon Center/Nintendo Store)
Day 3, Sunday
• Universal Studios Osaka
Day 4, Monday
• Either Kinkaku-ji or Nijo Castle (not sure which one before checking out of hotel at 11 and heading to Tokyo)
Are there any other things I can fit in? I was also interested in Ginkakau-ji and Philosopher’s Path. I will be staying in Kawaramachi and going end of February.

Be sure to approach Kiyomizu-dera through the Otani Cemetery if you want to avoid the crush of the tourist crowds.
For other places you could visit: if you go to Chionin (around the corner from Yasaka Shrine), there is a path you can follow behind the Chionin great bell. This path leads up the hill and takes you to Shogunzaka, a small temple that has two fantastic viewing platforms for a view of northern Kyoto city.
