Kyoto Day Trip 2014/4/19 05:29
We are visiting Japan in July and will have 4-4.5 days in Kyoto. We are also visiting Tokyo (4 nights), Hakone (1 night), Osaka (1 night), and trekking the Kumano Kodo (3 nights).

We'd like to do 1 day trip from Kyoto. We are not interested in Nara. We were always planning to do Hiroshima and Miyajima, but then I came across Naoshima. I realize that it is a bit further away, but we like long train rides. :) It just looks like such a unique and cool place, so now we are very torn.

Please help us choose! Thank you!

It is better to go by Shinkansen to Okayama Station from Kyoto Station.
Shinkansen of 5:44 Kyoto station, get to 8:24 in Uno station.
Shinkansen of 6:56 and arrive at 9:10 to Uno station.
Maybe, it is easy to crowded because it is summer vacation from July 20 .
