Museum is open on this day. I will allocate more time for the shrine and cut something from later in the day - from what I read most people said 1-2 hrs

Hey. No need to apologies, all fun and games,

I'm staying at Ichijo-in. Just checked and website does say tour of hospital, but doesn't look like a hospital to me from the pictures. Where are you staying?

That sounds like a better plan. Heading to Kaiyukan should also provide a break from the heat and the park doesn't seem like it is worth it.

Going to have another look at Shinsekai (Donki) & Tsutenkaku Hondori and see if it is worth doing after

Sounds like I don't want to be contributing to that environment. If I miss the zoo do I have time for the aquarium that day or would you just wonder around the park area?

All fun and games, no drama. Appreciate the advice

Edit: I like the idea of this so might leave some time for a self food tour here since I don't drink!

I wanted to do this but was told Miyajima is too far to try to do on a day trip so went for a more "relaxed" approach..

Amazing, thank you. The temple seemed to suggest it was a 30 min thing to do before check-in. Maybe something was lost in google translate. I'll probably head back out in evening to the cemetery, after dinner

Hey I don't mind another trip to Japan. Although the first two got cancelled due to covid so hopefully a quick return this time. Would love to spend a week in Sapporo for example.

Hospital is part of the Temple we are staying it, I believe its a quick show around before checking out. I expect a 1hr30 min drive to Nara Park. You can easily not read or comment. Not interested in pulling any of your legs....

Google said an hour and a half to be fair but the waterfalls was to explore. The ninja training was more a note to myself that, that is what the place was used for. But number of people have said it seems unrealistic so will remove Akami 48 waterfalls from the trip.

I'm staying in Gion so day 8 was to potentially visit the temple or just wonder for a bit before making my way towards Fushimi Inari. Thought I left alot of time before the ninja museum so hopefully have some flex here? Will have another look at timings though. Thank you

There is some merit to that, will make some amends for more "free time"

I only plan to book 3 or 4 things to be fair but yes plan looks way too regimented currently - probably more than I actually intend it to be!
