Kyoto
Kyoto, Japan's capital until it was moved to Tokyo in 1868, is considered by many to be Japan's most beautiful city. Only Rome lays claim to more designated Unesco World Heritage Sites than this city nestled amongst the mountains of Western Honshu.

We've planned our trip at the last minute but we were absolutely lucky to find this nice guesthouse! This brand new guesthouse is located in Higashiyama district. Kiyomizu-dera temple or Gion district are just walking distance (ca. 10 min. on foot). ... more

The staff at this hostel are great! Very friendly and good at English, they try their best to make you feel at home. We stayed in the mixed dorm - the privacy curtain offers much more privacy than other dorms, and the large lockers they provided were a rare luxury in Japan. ... more

A very good place to stay, where we appreciated to stay during 6 days.

Everything is tiny, except the price. TINY kitchen, small amount of toilets (only one on each second floor, but clean at least), narrow corridors.

Basic Japanese Ryokan with everything you need: sleeping mat, green tea and internet. Entirely what I was expecting. Nothing for romantic trips perhaps, the walls were quite thin.

BakPak Gion Hostel is situated around the Shijo area where most of the nightlife is. You can stay out late and just walk back to the hostel. The staff is friendly but may not be there all the time.

Roku roku provides a gentle introduction into busy Kyoto. Located in a leafy green area of town, it's some distance from the centre but very close to a number of the temples and gardens.

I thought it was pretty good value for money, despite the fact that no meals were available. The owners were friendly although it would be worth being prepared with some useful phrases in japanese.
