Tips for Kyoto

Many temples and shrines have toilets near the entrance or the parking area, but often not deep inside the grounds. Use them before you start walking.
The Fushimi Inari mountain trail is long; plan to use a toilet near the bottom of the trail before you climb.
Kyoto city buses have no toilets and can be crowded and slow. Go before long bus rides, for example at Kyoto Station.
