Bus trip around Kyoto temples

Hi,

My family of 5 will be visiting Kyoto on 22 Dec 2011. We would like to visit Kinkakuji, Kiyomizu Temple and follow by Fushumi Inari Shrine (in this order).

Appreciate any advises on the above sequence is appropriate in view of going to these places by bus. Also, please advise what bus number should I take from Kyoto station to those places.

Thank you.

This is a map of Kyoto's buses which should be very helpful in looking up your route:

I personally avoid Kyoto buses like the pest, especially in central Kyoto, because they are too often slow, infrequent, delayed and packed. I would take the subway and bus/taxi via Kitaoji to access Kinkakuji, but from there to Kiyomizudera the bus is not too bad of an option (although a very long journey). From Kiyomizudera to Fushimi Inari I personall would walk down to Kiyomizu-Gojo Station and take the Keihan Line to Fushimi Inari Station.
