If you feel like a stroll through the woods (like Heidelberg), a park (like Hyde Park), see some lakes, a beautiful museum - and, yes, shrine, tea house, etc - the Meiji Jingu Gaien is my favourite.

Loads of temples, shrines, traditional buildings, little offertories and other curiosities in Autumn of 2023 in Kyoto. 
Largely on foot/hiking but with rare use of public transport for remoter sites
