There are a lot of hotels in Kyoto, especially around the city center and Kyoto Station (JR: Japan Railway), but very few hotels close to Kyoto University, unfortunately.
- From the city center to Kyoto University: about 15-20 min by bus
- From Kyoto Station to Kyoto University: about 30-40 min by bus
We recommend making reservation as early as possible because it is the tourist season in May in Kyoto. We are afraid that the LOC is unable to book a room for you.
