I will be going there two weeks before your trip, with a similar itinerary, a 14 day trip, might be a full kansai tour or tokyo -> kansai.

R u going Arashiyama in Kyoto? It's a nice place, relaxing also, if u like nature also. Can take the train (forgot the name). Got shrine there. Small shops here and there.

I stayed and 4-5hrs there. Maybe becos i am a slow pace person, I can stay very long in a place one, that's y ended up I always missed out some places in my itinerary.

1 area in kyoto needs to long?! :eek:

i think i need to extend my trip :s13:

I spent a day in Arashiyama... I started around 10 in the morning and I ended around 4? The various temples are rather far apart and there was a lot of walking... plus I took a walk through the park by the river. Had lunch there and later tea in some japanese garden...

We can stay at a place for so long doesn't mean u will b the same, becos each individual has diff traveling pattern, mayb u will b bored after a while? But if u were a nature lover, i believe u will like it.

Winter... thn u must ride the Sagano Scenic Railway also, for the scenery.
Not sure wat u can do there during winter also? Appreciate the snow all over the place? Wow!

I rem it's very cold when i went there (autumn)!!! *shivering*
