Kyoto
 

We are traveling with a tour but have some free time in Kyoto. We will be touring
Arashiyama bamboo grove, Kinkakuji temple, Nijo castle, Nara..Todajii temple, Togestsu bridge, Senkoji temple, Fusgimi shrine,

Any suggestions for spending 2 afternoons? We love to walk, see local things, and maybe all outside if the weather permits!

Thank you for any suggestions...

Would love a few dinner recommendations also!

I strongly urge you to consult japan-guide.com -- you'll find options that might meet your particular interests better by doing your own research than through any recommendations any of us might offer.
