Kyoto and related destinations

Between ancient temples and modern manga museums, Kyoto reveals itself through contrasts. Wander through vermillion gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine, where thousands of torii create tunnels of orange against green mountainside. Geisha hurry through narrow Gion streets at dusk, their white-painted faces glimpsed briefly before disappearing into exclusive teahouses. The golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji appears to float on its reflecting pond, somehow more impressive than any photograph suggests. Nishiki Market offers bizarre delicacies and perfect ceramics in equal measure. Don't miss Arashiyama's bamboo grove, where morning light filters through impossibly tall stalks creating a green cathedral effect that explains why the Japanese find spirituality in nature.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Kyoto

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Kyoto is during January, February, and September, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those exploring the city’s rich history and culture, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to fully appreciate the iconic landmarks, such as ancient temples, beautiful gardens, and significant monuments. With its affordable options, Kyoto offers great value for money for sightseeing tours that highlight its stunning natural attractions and cultural heritage.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Kyoto, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could find out about flash sales and special promotions, helping you save on your stay. Hotels.com will keep you informed about your preferred hotels' price and availability. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature in the app allows travellers to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to snag the best deal when booking a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Thus, being flexible with your travel dates could help you make savings on your stay in a Kyoto hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more tailored experience and, at times, better value.
