There are plenty of hotels in Kyoto, and it is not very difficult to find a reasonbally comfortable room under $100 per night which can be reserved from abroad by popular global reservation services. However, rooms in Kyoto sell quickly. Therefore, we strongly recommend you to plan your travel and revserve you room as early as possible.

Useful Tips
1. Tips
Tips are not necessary in Japan. In particular, you do not need to pay tips for taxi, restaurant, and hotel services. (Meanwhile, not so often but in some situations, what they call service charge may be automatically included in the price. Then you need to pay it.)
2. IC card for transportation
The main transportation in Kyoto is buses, subways, and trains. To ride them, it is extremely convenient to have a prepaid/rechargeable IC card such as ICOCA/Suica/manaca (sold in Osaka-Kyoto/Tokyo/Nagoya area, respectively). You can buy and recharge them at the JR train stations (not subway stations). You can use them for almost all trains/subways/buses in Japan except for Shinkansen.
3. Form Kansai International Airport to Kyoto
It is easy and fast to take the express train Haruka to Kyoto station.
