This is what I normally do, layering, taking off when necessary.
Bring a lightweight quilted jacket, walking around temples and other sights in Kyoto requires walking but buses are convenient.
Go to Kyoto Mitsukoshi dept. store, during lunch restaurant serve Kyoto-fu(Kyoto-style)reasonably priced set menu which would cost a fortune during dinner or elsewhere.
In Osaka, try the clear broth noodles, Osaka-style pancake called okonomiyaki and takoyaki.
Sushi is also reasonable.
