Hyotei is great, was there a couple of years ago.
If you're still in Kyoto, I'd also recommend Jiki Miyazawa if you can get in (10-15000/pp   drinks) - there's only around 10 seats.
Okariba a little out from the centre was also worth a visit (this one isn't high end).

Hi Folks
Just stumbled across this thread which I'm finding really useful particularly as I'm planning on going on a holiday in 18 months. Like most I haven't really got a clue, so I've just started researching. This is supposed to be a surprise for the missus so I can't involve her just yet.

We both think Kyoto looks interesting. I've found a couple of self catering holiday homes within 20 minutes from the centre. I was thinking of 10 days including travel.  Do you think there would be enough to keep us occupied using Kyoto as a base with a few excursions into the surrounding country.

10 days is never enough time for Japan. We have been walking around 6-8 miles a day. Seeing lots of different things. Although as this is the last full day before going to Tokyo it's a little rest & relaxation day. And packing

Going all that way no less than 2 weeks really.

So jealous, I was there around Halloween a couple of years ago. Really need to get back out there. So much to see, so much to do and  I so much to eat!

Wake up early to go to the fish market if you're staying in Tokyo!
