Advance Planning
Several months Make accommodation reservations several months in advance if you are
travelling in cherry-blossom season (March and April) and the autumn-foliage season
(October and November).
One month Buy a Japan Rail Pass. This pass ( CLICK HERE ) can save you a lot of money if
you are planning to travel extensively by rail within Japan after visiting Kyoto.
A few days Buy a pair of comfortable slip-on walking shoes (you'll be taking your shoes
off a lot in Kyoto).
