Day Two
After exploring the Higashiyama on Day One, you'll want to head west to the
Arashiyama & Sagano district, which has a dense concentration of first-rate sights.
The typical route involves starting at
Tenryū-ji
and working your way north to
route here.
Lunch
Eat near Keifuku Arashiyama Station or along the route
at Komichi.
It makes sense to stay on the west side of town in the afternoon of this day. Take a
taxi from the end of the morning's route or lunch stop to
Kinkaku-ji

Ryōan-ji

lodgings.
Like Day One, this is a pretty big day, with a fair bit of transport, so you probably

Pontochō
is a
great place to wander, as is
Kiyamachi-dōri
, particularly the stretch between Shijō-dōri
and Gojō-dōri.
