Hi guys, its been 10 years since I last visited Kansai 
hoping to get some advice on my rough itinerary please, many thanks!
Some background: booked last week of November cuz that's the only time we can get leave, and realized its super peak=crowded. The group consists of 2 pax elderly, 1 toddler 2yo and 3 adults, and we are staying near the Karasuma Oike station.
23/11 - arrive downtown about 11am
- Nijo Castle, Kawaramachi, Potoncho Alley
- I am on the fence about limosine or getting the Haruka Icoca package, is it troublesome to change trains with lugagages and considering our group demographics?
24/11 - Southern Higashiyama
- Kiyomizu dera and the nearby areas
- Shoren in, Chion in, Kodai ji
25/11 - Shimogamo Jinja, Rurikouin, Kitano Tenmangu
- This day is quite random though.
- My Japanese friend recommended Rurikouin but is it really worth the distance and queue? Also the entrance for day time is 2000yen and 7000yen for night special limited to 150pax per day
26/11 - Nara
27/11 - Nothern Higashiyama
- Ginkakuji
- Honenin
- Path of Philosophy
- Eikan do
- Nanzenji
28/11 - Arashiyama
29/11 - Fushimi Inari and Tofukuji
30/11 - Osaka
1/12 - Back to Singapore in the morning.
Would need to reach airport at about 8.30am. Is it recommended to take the return for limousine (but only 1 timing for our nearest bus stop), or take train to Kyoto and transfer to limousine (more timings) or the Haruka?
There are also many places with night lightup, any that you would recommend please? We are definitely going for Nijo Castle's Flowers By Naked cuz its near to our accommodation.
A long post, thanks for reading and appreciate any advice!
