Perhaps we could get together in the evening. Is this your first trip to Kyoto? It is a fabulous place with its temples (Golden Pavillion, Sanjusangendo etc.), gardens (Ryoan-ji, Tenru-ji) and the Gion district etc. Also, Kyoto has two Imperial Villas that can be visited with prior permission. FYI, my email address is billc@xsite.net.
