| Accommodation |
Once the capital of Japan, Kyoto is rich in fascinating history and romantic iconic imagery of ancient Japan. As late March/early April is cherry blossom season with many visitors, encourage you to book your stay at least three months in advance.
| Transportation |
Kyoto is most accessible from Osaka International Airport (ITM) - 50 minutes by airport limousine bus, or Kansai International Airport (KIX) - 90 minutes by direct express train. If you will be visiting Tokyo beforehand, shinkansen or "bullet train" is 2 hours from Tokyo station to Kyoto station.
