3 days in Kyoto enough?

Question:


Is 3 days enough time to spend in Kyoto and what should be on top of my list of things to do and see there?

Answer:


There is so much history that actually no - you would need more time. But you can see a number of the most historic places, and hopefully you can do it without everything turning into a blur at the end.
But if you want a good list of some of the best sites to see try looking at

In the evening if you are in the Gion District, you might cactch a glimpse of a maiko or geisha as well.

If you have the chance you should also take at least half a day and see Nara, especially the Great Buddha and deer park - they are really not to be missed.

There is also a lot of good info at

To help you out, there is a visitor info center nearby Kyoto Station, with maps and other tips.
