## One-Day Kyoto Itinerary (Summer)
### Morning
**Fushimi Inari Taisha** (6:00–8:30)
Start early before the heat peaks. Walk the lower torii gate path; the full summit hike takes 2–3 hours. No admission fee, open 24 hours.
**Nishiki Market** (9:30–10:30)
Browse the covered market for a light breakfast. Most stalls open around 9:00–10:00.

### Midday
**Nijo Castle** (11:00–12:30)
Edo-period shogun residence with nightingale floors. Closes Tuesdays; confirm closure dates in advance.
**Lunch near Gion** (13:00–14:00)
Several kaiseki lunch sets are available at lower price points than dinner. Reservations recommended for specific restaurants.

### Afternoon
**Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion)** (14:30–15:30)
Crowded in summer; arrive mid-afternoon when tour groups thin slightly. Hours: 9:00–17:00.
**Ryoan-ji** (15:45–16:30)
Rock garden, 10 minutes from Kinkaku-ji. Hours: 8:00–17:00 (summer).
---
### Evening
**Philosopher's Path → Nanzen-ji** (17:00–18:30)
Canal walk lined with trees. Nanzen-ji aqueduct is worth a brief stop.
**Dinner in Gion** (19:00–)
Pontocho alley or Gion main street. Some restaurants require reservations weeks ahead in summer.
