9:00 AM — Arrive Kyoto Station (Shinkansen from Tokyo ¥14,000/person). Take subway Line Karasuma to Kawaramachi (12 min, ¥260). Check in at hotel near Gion.
11:00 AM — Nishiki Market walk (free entry). Budget ¥1,500 for street snacks — try yuba skewers and matcha soft serve.
2:00 PM — Gion district walk. Hanamikoji Street. No cost. Best light for photos: 4–5 PM when geiko/maiko return to okiya.
