Where to stay in Kyoto

What neighbourhood in Kyoto should I stay in based on why I’m traveling?

Kyoto, the real heart of Japan, is a well-preserved, ancient city. If you’re traveling for leisure, the city centre is an ideal place to stay because you’ll have easy access to public transport to take you to tourist attractions near and far, like the Nijō Castle. You will also find several clubs, shopping areas, and excellent hotels like Hotel Sunroute, which you can book through momondo. If you’re traveling as a couple, consider staying in Shinbashi Dori, a serene and magical neighbourhood. Night strolls under these beautiful, well-lit streets make for a romantic evening. Book your stay at the nearby Hyatt Regency Hotel. If you are a business traveler, consider staying in downtown Kyoto. Several budget-friendly Kyoto hotels—like Ikoi Hotel—as well as conference halls and office buildings are located within this bustling neighbourhood.
