Temples before the crowds, the buses made simple, where to eat and when, and the story behind every stop: three connected days in Kyoto.

The wooden stage at opening, the stone lanes of Higashiyama, Yasaka Shrine, Gion and an evening on Pontocho.
Arashiyama's bamboo at dawn, Tenryu-ji's garden, the river bridge, then Kinkaku-ji and the rock garden.
Fushimi Inari at sunrise, Tofuku-ji's maple valley, a thousand Kannon and lunch in Nishiki Market.
