Your luggage
Ask your accommodation whether it can store your bags. For lockers, storage or delivery, check availability, size limits and collection times. Keep documents, medication and valuables with you. Do not rely on finding an empty locker.

A rainy day
Choose one museum and check its official opening calendar, last admission and ticket conditions. Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art and Kyoto International Manga Museum are options. Plan lunch nearby and keep a second visit optional.
