If it rains in Kyoto or Tokyo

what can I do in oct

In the sense what type of indoors type of place can I visit or shop in.

As I hope it doesnt rain at all but if it does, where do I want to try to go to for most of the day for both places.

Thanks

Japan, is especially temples are beautiful in the rain. Just buy an umbrella.

There are lots of covered shopping streets in Kyoto and Tokyo but especially Osaka (which is very close to Kyoto).

I was in tokyo and kyoto in December and it rained a bit. It wasnft a problem though (the cold was). Anyway, just buy and umbrella for $5 from a convenience store. Every shop has umbrella stands or disposable umbrella covers.

A few tips: Put a small sticker on your umbrella because lots of people have the same white one from the convenience stores. No one will steal your umbrella in any case, but it means you wont take someonefs by accident. And take a spare pair of shoes in case you step in a puddle.
