My wife and I will be visiting Kyoto for the first time. We’ll be spending around 2 weeks in the Kansai area. We’re in our late 60s and would like some advice on a leisurely itinerary for our first 3 days in Kyoto. We like to take our time in seeing the sights, so something slow paced would be nice. We appreciate your help.

These are famous spots that you should visit. I think 3 spots per day is a nice and slow itinerary for you.

Kiyomizudera temple
Fushimi Inari shrine
Nijo Castle
Gion district (in the evening if you have time)
Day 2:
Ginkakuji temple
Kinkakuji temple (Golden pavilion)
Nanzenji temple
Day 3: Arashiyama area
