Unfortunately our stay in Kyoto in my opinion sucked. We took the metro to the manga museum only to find out it was closed, from there we walked for nearly an hour -_-. Finally moving out onto the Kyoto Imperial Palace, only to find out that the gardens and the outer area is open to the public. Moving from the palace we took the metro back to the main kyoto station and just walked around a bit, and visited a fairly large buddhist temple around there. Our second day there was mainly our laundry day so not much walking or running around. The only upside to it is visiting a manga shop where I bought a few books (which unfortunately got wet because on the way back home I put my wet towel over them -_-), and a magazine. We left Kyoto early to catch the shinkansen back to Tokyo seeing that there was far more things of interest to see there.
I must advise that if you plan to travel to Japan, and plan to go city hopping as I did make sure you purchase a J-Rail Pass, as it will save you tons of money.
