If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Kyoto
Whether you crave the intimacy of a restored machiya or ryokan, the modern comforts of a boutique hotel, or the budget-friendly camaraderie of guesthouses and hostels, Kyoto’s places to stay offer authentic Japanese charm alongside practical convenience. For the best experience, choose a neighborhood that matches your pace—Gion or Higashiyama for history and teahouses, Arashiyama for nature, or near Kyoto Station for transport—book early for cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons, and consider accommodations with kaiseki dinners or onsen access to deepen your stay.
