I am delighted to hear that my itinerary is helpful. I assume you will be coming to Japan this autumn to visit Kyoto. Please be aware that Kyoto is the center of overtourism. Please book the hotel as soon as possible and try to avoid weekends and major attractions. If you still want to go, please visit very early in the morning. For instance, you can leave your hotel before 06:00 for Fushimi Inari Taisha. You can still go back to your hotel and have breakfast after that.
You are right, Yazi. I recommend avoiding weekends and school holidays. You must wait several times for the traffic lights to reach the other side of the road.
Excellent advice as always. I lived a few stops away from Shibuya on the Inokashira line in the 1980s and I miss the more down to earth way it used to be.
Many thanks for reading and commenting on my posts, Kate. Now that I live in the western suburb of Tokyo, I used to live in the Inokashira Line area until 2014. Most of these areas are cozy, and you can always visit Shibuya and Kichijoji for both ends. If anyone is considering living in Tokyo for the medium to long term, it is worth checking.
Yes! Shimokitazawa underwent significant changes after the station's reconstruction. I found that It is becoming a popular spot among foreign visitors.
I will save this and refer to it! We are not planning a long stay in Tokyo so this kind of itinerary is perfect for us.

I remember not being able to enter Takeshita street because it was so crowded, people were shoulder to shoulder😄

And Shimokitazawa too!

Enjoyed this. And hope that I will be able to put this into practice one day.
Thanks for your comment, Robert. Daydreaming is the initial step in putting it into practice. I hope you have an opportunity to come to Japan soon.
