The wedding will be located in Kyoto.
We recommend planning to be in Japan for 2-3 days around the planned wedding date.
We recommend flying directly to Osaka (ITM or KIX) airport and taking public transportation or arranging car service to your hotel. Alternatively, you can fly in to Tokyo (HND or NRT), and then take the Shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto Station. We recommend the Tokyo route if it works better for your flights, or if you want to spend some time in Tokyo before or after.
Kyoto is relatively a small city so you can chose any hotel that you prefer. We will be staying at the Ace Hotel Kyoto. The surrounding area around the Ace Hotel is centrally located and convenient to get around, which is why we enjoy staying there. The Ace Hotel Kyoto currently has a pre-paid early bird discount of ~30% off. The hotel is also part of American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts, Chase Edit, and other credit card hotel programs for savings & benefits.
