We had a day and a half all to ourselves. No itinerary, no rush. Staying in a Ryokan, in stead of a western style hotel, is a wonderful experience.
Kyoto and Nara have so many temples (Buddhism) and shrines (Shintoism), some of them are literally inside each other. Although it has not always been this way, these two religions now co-exist peacefully and both are intergral parts of Japanese life.

Dinner for 2, traditional Japanese style. Each is about 10 to 12 courses that are all in very small portion. Dinner and breakfast are included in a Ryokan stay.
