I'll take a bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto on Friday 13/9 and will arrive around 11 am.
At 14:00, I have now booked a place on the whiskey tour on Santory. I guess
I'll spend 2-3 hours there including tasting, whiskey museum etc. But what
should I do more in Kyoto? Is so very much to see that a week would be needed. But with the proper planning, I am sure I will fit it all into 2 days!
The blogger Food Sake Tokyo writes about Nishiki Market , Kyoto's fresh food street market. There, one should try deep fried Tofu,
a specialty of Kyoto.
Cooking class in the home of a Japanese family? Seems so fun! I thought of taking one in Tokyo but they also have courses in Kyoto. The most known is the one with Emi Heryima that have got great reviews on Food Sake Tokyo. But when I tried to book it was already full. Plan well ahead if you would like to take this course!
Kyoto also have several excellent restaurants, many of them with 1-2 stars in
guide Michellin.
And there are many temples, shrines and beautiful parks in Kyoto that I don't want to miss. TripAdvisor has a good list of which I am most eager to visit the following places:
Fushimi Inari Shrine
