Hostel Mundo
4/52 Reviews
Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma
This time I stayed in a tatami room on the 2nd floor, facing the window with plenty of sunlight. The room is equipped with air-conditioning, electric fan, small table and cushions, mosquito-proof feather night light, and 3 charging sockets. There are 2 bathrooms (shower) and toilets on the 1st floor. 2 bathrooms, 2 sinks, hair dryers, cotton swabs, etc., 2 public bathhouses near the old house (elderly soup 430 yen, remember to bring your own bath towels), bicycle rental 500 yen for 24 hours Pros: The owner is very friendly English Not bad, the tatami mats of the century-old house have a faint rice scent, bath towels are provided, luggage can be stored for free, the environment is beautiful and quiet Disadvantages: The location is located in a residential area, so there is a bus stop (Marutamachi Chiko Huiin) about 20 minutes away from the subway minute
Hostel Sui Kyoto

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma
AMAZING!! This is one of my favourite hotels/ hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Feels so traditionally Japanese and the small touches around the dormitories are lovely. From the calming music that plays all day to the amazing bathroom/ shower facilities, we didn’t want to leave! Towels, hairdryers and toiletries are complimentary. The 206 bus runs from Kyoto train station near Dormitory Sui and then it’s about a 5 minute walk. Whilst it’s not in the centre of town, it’s still very close. The woman working on reception was SO lovely and couldn’t do enough to help us. Side note: if you book through Booking.com, you will still need to pay city tax when you arrive. We were not aware of this. Can’t recommend this place enough when you’re in Kyoto!

Introduction to Kyoto

As the former imperial capital of Japan, Kyoto effortlessly blends the old with the new. This city in the Kansai region is renowned for its well-preserved temples, stunning gardens, traditional teahouses, and the historic geisha district of Gion.

Tips for Travelling to Kyoto

Travelers usually fly into Kansai International Airport or Osaka Itami Airport before making their way to Kyoto by train or bus. The city has an efficient network of buses and trains, including a subway system.

The official currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY). Credit cards are accepted in many places, but cash is still commonly used. Japanese is the primary language spoken, though English is understood in many tourist areas.

Visa policies vary based on nationality and duration of stay, so it is advisable to check prior to your visit.

Popular Attractions in Kyoto

Kyoto is home to an array of UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Fushimi Inari Taisha, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Wander around the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, or take a walk through the historic streets of Gion.

Don't forget to visit Nijo Castle and the Philosopher's Path, especially during cherry blossom season.

Weather, Best Time to Visit, and What to Wear

Kyoto experiences four distinct seasons: humid summers, chilly winters, and mild springs and autumns. The city is particularly popular during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when cherry blossoms and autumn leaves transform the landscape.

Given the varied climate, clothing should be season appropriate. Comfortable shoes are essential for temple hopping.
