BEST AREAS TO STAY IN KYOTO

Near Kiyomizu-dera: Best for little traditional streets, great early morning & evening, but crowded by day. Mostly buses; train station is at least a 10 to 15-min walk !

 Near Gion: Best for tradition : walking distance  to Yasaka Shrine, Kiyomizu & Pontocho. Expensive & busy all day

 Near Sanjo Keihan/Kawaramachi: Best for shopping, food & nightlife—great train connections (Keihan, Hankyu, Tozai line), can be noisy depending on your spot.

 Near Kawaramachi Oike: Quiet business area : less touristy but super practical and well connected !  Save this & follow for more Japan tips!

 Near Higashiyama Station: Best balance : calm but central,, easy subway access and walkable distance to gion and kiyomizu. Beautiful neighborhood.
