Uber is not available in Japan. However, cab stands are available at major stations such as Kyoto Station. It takes about 20 minutes from Kyoto Station to the conference venue,  and the fare is about 2,000 yen. You can also ask for cab dispatch at the reception desk of hotels. Also, it is easy to find a cab in downtown Kyoto. When you see a cab marked "空車" or "vacant," raise your hand.
