Accommodations

Introduction
After a day of sightseeing, you will want someplace comfortable and convenient to rest. Fortunately, Kyoto has accommodations to meet all tastes. For many travelers, relaxing on tatami floors in ryokan (Japanese-style inns) is the perfect way to unwind, and some ryokan will also give you the chance to feast on expertly prepared Kyoto-style cuisine. Those who prefer something more familiar will be pleased with Kyoto’s range of Western-style hotels. No matter where you decide to stay, it’s best to make reservations well in advance, particularly when crowds pour into the city to admire cherry blossoms in early spring and maple leaves in autumn.
