Gion & Higashiyama
Historic wooden streets close to major temples. Good for atmospheric evenings and traditional ryokan or machiya stays.
Stay
Compare different parts of Kyoto and note which districts might suit your budget, interests, and travel style.
Kyoto Station
Best transport access, shopping, and good-value business hotels. Useful if you plan day trips to Nara, Osaka, or beyond.
Arashiyama
Riverside views, bamboo groves, and a slower pace. Quieter in the evenings once day-trippers leave.
Tips for choosing an area
- Check walking times and public transport links to your key sights.
- Look up last train or bus times if staying away from central Kyoto.
- Consider noise levels and whether you prefer nightlife or quiet streets.
