While last-minute deals do exist, we recommend booking your accommodation in Kyoto sooner rather than later. Availability in city-centre hotels can become more limited as your travel dates get closer, especially if you’re visiting in spring for the cherry blossoms or autumn for the golden foliage! Booking early typically gives you access to more choice and better prices.

For travellers arriving by air, Kansai International Airport and Osaka International (Itami) Airport are your closest options. Although, it’s worth mentioning that despite its name, Osaka International Airport only handles domestic flights! For convenience, many visitors choose to catch Japan’s famous Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Kyoto, which typically takes around 2.5 hours and will transport you right into the city.
