We're a family of 4 including a 16-month-old baby. We'll be visiting Kyoto for 9 days in early August. We have some questions regarding driving--
(1) We'll planning to have a couple of excursions, one to Kibune (Kurama) and another to Arashiyama. We're wondering whether it would be better for us to rent a car - how is parking and how would the traffic be outside Kyoto?
Renting a car would mean giving the baby a chance to nap on the long ride - he doesn't nap well except in cars (or in my arms!!
)
(2) On day 1, should we drive from the Osaka airport to Kyoto (Hyatt Regency)?
(3) Would it be REALLY insensible to drive INSIDE Kyoto? How bad is parking?
Thanks a lot!
