    Itinerary Overview

    Important Notes Before Traveling

    • • I flew to Kansai International Airport (KIX) from Manila, Philippines. The flight took about four hours.

    • • I used the JR Pass to travel from KIX to Kyoto Station by Haruka Express train. The journey took about 75 minutes.

    • • I stayed at a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) near Kyoto Station. The ryokan offered a comfortable and authentic accommodation with tatami mats, futons, and hot spring baths.
