Hello! I'll be heading to Osaka/Kyoto too 30th Dec - 9th Jan, so here are some things I found during my research that may help you

I'm travelling w my bf and we're mid 20s, plus we both really like walking and understanding the culture, so we thought we'd go there and google map the directions, and if it ain't far we'll most likely walk :) our plans aren't really very firm also because we like to keep some buffer space in between in case we wanna stop by to get coffee or we get distracted by the streets or towns in between, or we get too cold

30 Dec (Kyoto)
Touch down KIX, head to Kyoto straight away and chill for the night.

31 Dec (Kyoto)
Morning - philosopher's walk, then travel to kiyomizudera
Afternoon - late lunch at Gion, then walk around Gion. Go to yasaka shrine nearing to midnight for hatsumode (the welcoming of the new year). then after midnight, walk past the park and go to chion-in temple
