Accommodation

Introduction

Kyoto is the most popular touristic destination in Japan. Hotels are fully booked all through the year.

Hence, we recommend you to book today! Even if you are not sure whether you will really participate in the conference or not, it is strongly recommended to book your room right now. In many cases, it is possible to cancel your booking until one week before your proposed date of arrival.

Places to stay

There are many hotels in Kyoto, ranging from 5 star luxurious hotels to dormitories behind streets.

Unfortunately, however, there are almost no hotels within walking distance from the conference venue.

Please find rooms in such areas as Shijo Kawaramachi (四条河原町), Kawaramachi Sanjo (河原町三条), Gion (祇園), Shijo Karasuma (四条烏丸), from where it takes 20-30 minutes to Kyoto University by bus.

The easiest way to book is just to search for rooms by Agoda, Booking.com, Tripadviser, Airbnb etc.

Here are some hotels with good reputation.
