  • Pricey but worth it!

    Kyoto in 1 day is not ideal, but if that is all you have, this will ensure you get to see all the big highlights. It ends up being very expensive if you are traveling from Tokyo (like we were) and you hire a private car service (like we did), but it was still worth it! We would have liked another day in Kyoto but at least we can say we saw the beautiful city!
