A: If you're planning to visit popular sightseeing spots, we recommend choosing a hotel or ryokan near these locations to be able to avoid the crowds during the day and visit the sights early in the morning before everyone else.

If you have suitcases or other large pieces of luggage, it can also make for a more pleasant travel experience to avoid traveling to your accommodation by bus by staying near Kyoto Station, or close to one of Kyoto's subway stations.

If you're looking for a more "Kyoto-like" stay, try staying in a ryokan inn. The experience is sure to come with unique experiences, like sleeping in a tatami room, bathing in an onsen, and having a traditional Japanese-style breakfast.
