Hi,Im travelling soon to Kyoto w/my mom arriving Sunday night.3 whole days in Kyoto and we leave Thurs for Osaka.This is her dream trip and I want to make sure that I try to prepare for it as much as possible.I booked at Hotel Granvia, JR station for her convenience.
Day1-From Kiyomizudera, would it be more convenient to take cab to Sanjusangendo? And then cab to Gion? and then cab to Philosophers path?We are 4 persons so would that better?
Day2-Fushimi Inami Shrine
Day3-Either Nara or Kurama Onsen
I do not want to overpack because of my Mom and I also am excited to just take things slow to better appreciate everything. Am I missing anything important that is a must for my Mom to see? Thank you in advance for your help.

If you do not mind the cost, using taxis is certainly the recommended way of travel.
On day 1 the most efficient order would be: Kyoto Station - Sanjusangendo - Kiyomizudera - Gion - Philosopher's Path. Although Gion is most interesting as a dining destination in the evening. So you could travel: Kyoto Station - Sanjusangendo - Kiyomizudera - Philosopher's Path - Gion - Kyoto Station
Day2-Fushimi Inami Shrine
Fushimi Inari typically takes between 30 minutes and 3 hours to see. This will leave you with a lot of time for other sightseeing.

No visit to Kyoto is complete without a visit to Kinkakuji, the Golden Pavillion: it is stunning, iconic and well worth the time.
We find Kinkakuji nicer in the morning, something to do with the sunshine angles: perhaps, Kinkakuji in the morning, leisurley lunch, then Fushimi Inari in the afternoon.
Just an idea.

We both have time in Kyoto and Osaka. Which would be a more cost and time efficient way to travel to Nara? From Kyoto or from Osaka. Thanks in advance.
