Hotel Accomodation
We secured some hotel rooms, which can be reserved by the registration site. There are plenty of hotels in Kyoto, but plenty of visitors to Kyoto. We strongly recommend you reserve a hotel as early as possible. Unfortunately, there is no hotel within walking distance of the venue. If you stay in a hotel between Kyoto station and the venue, you can generally reach the venue within 30 minutes. However, taking a bus that goes on Higashiyama-dori, particularly below Shijo-dori in the daytime, is not recommended because it is often overcrowded.
