We are going mid-June so that would be great! How will I know the walk is posted?

Toni,

We will arrive in Kyoto on June 18, so yes, that would be great!!

I would love to see what you end up doing in Kyoto. We are there 4 nights and I have two day trips scheduled one to Nara and one to Enryakuji which might be one day trip too many. I have to keep Nara because my daughter is super excited about the deer.

You are so kind to respond to all of these comments. Have an awesome time. Keri

Hi Keri, Thank you. I don't have a map or walking guide on the site at the moment but I'm headed back to Kyoto next month and it's on my list to do this time. I'm not sure when you're going but hopefully that might still be in time for you.

You really do have the most useful information I have come across.

The hyperdia.com website is useful, you can find out the closest station to where you are staying and then input where you are going and it will give you the best routes for where you want to go and the costs.

Thanks for the reply.
I'll have an active JR pass as I'm travelling downwards from Tokyo.
The places I plan to is probably fushima inari, arashimaya and higashima.
Staying at a hotel in higashima ward, but pretty unsure of the travelling routes as I'm travelling to Japan for the 1st time ?.
Mind if you give an opinion? so that I can buy/don't buy the kyoto pass and assure myself to not hesitate.

Thanks Steve. It will depend on what your plans are and if you already will have an active JR pass while you are there? You'll need JR or another train to get to places like Fushimi Inari and Arashiyama. I think the Kyoto pass is Y1700 so it will depend on how much you plan to walk and how often you'll use the bus or subway, it's quite a compact city with a lot to see, we walk a lot between attractions so I prefer our suica/icoca and just use it when we need it as I wouldn't get the value from the pass. Where you are staying might also make a difference to the value you get from it.

We didn't use them but there were coin lockers at JR Inari even though it's a relatively small station. I don't recall numbers or sizes
