From Osaka ,
I took a train going to Kyoto .
The location of the hotel where I stayed at was just right across the exit of
Nagahoribashi Station, so it was really convenient for me. From Nagahoribashi
Station, the travel time going to Kyoto was almost two hours and the fare was 800 yen.
I stayed in a traditional
Japanese-style room at Oyado Sato which is located just a 12-minute walk from
Kyoto Station. The total amount I paid for my accommodation in Kyoto was 23,400 yen for three nights.
Amounts are in Yen
