The Kyoto City transit offers a day pass for bus or subway for 500 yen. We took advantage of the offer and used the bus to tour various parts of the city and shopping districts.
The Gion area is well known for its preservation of the traditional Japanese style housing and viewing geisha. Nowadays, much of the area has been converted into commercial businesses attracting tourists' dollars. We were there too early in the morning before the shops and restaurants opened, but we saw two geisha walked by.
The Kinkakuji Temple is known as the golden temple. The entire temple is beautifully arranged and well laid out with the typical Japanese style garden. It's the best we had seen in Japan so far.
We finally had a chance to try the Conveyor Belt sushi. Last time in Osaka, the line up was ridiculously long. The one here in Kyoto has multiple floors. We were a bit confused initially as no one explained the logistics. We also missed some selections as we didn't know that there were more pages on the menu. The prices were very reasonable (108 - 198 yens per order, with one or two pieces of nigiri). The quality was also quite good. This completes the list of different kinds of food we want to try for this trip!
