  • Hotel Granvia Osaka - JR Hotel Group
  • I want to see the Kannon Bodhisattva at Sanjusangendo Temple in Kyoto!

I'm planning to go to Kyoto soon. I want to see the more than 1,000 Kannon statues at Sanjusangendo. It's hard to get a hotel in Kyoto right now, so I'm thinking it might be better to stay at a hotel in a neighboring prefecture outside of Kyoto. Sanjusangendo is near Kyoto Station, so please let me know of a hotel outside of Kyoto that is easily accessible from Kyoto Station. It would be best if it's within an hour's access.

Hotel Granvia Osaka - JR Hotel Group

  • A hotel with great restaurants and lounges

  • We recommend Hotel Granvia Osaka as a base for sightseeing in Sanjusangendo. It is directly connected to JR Osaka Station, so you can return to the hotel relatively quickly after a tiring day of sightseeing. The hotel has a wide variety of restaurants and lounges, so you can have a comfortable stay.

  • It's convenient to use Osaka as your base.

  • How about using Hotel Granvia Osaka, which is directly connected to JR Osaka Station, as a base for sightseeing in Kyoto? Kyoto Station is about 30 minutes away, so you can enjoy Sanjusangendo Temple in Kyoto during the day and dining and shopping in the lively area around the station at night. Some rooms offer a panoramic view of Osaka's beautiful night view, allowing you to enjoy the charms of two cities.

Biwako Hotel - Lakeside Hotspring Resort

2-40 Hamamachi, Otsu, Shiga

  • Great access, hard to believe it's in a neighboring prefecture

  • It's only a 10-minute train ride from the nearest Otsu Station to Kyoto Station, making it hard to believe it's in a neighboring prefecture. After enjoying sightseeing in Kyoto, why not enjoy a delicious dinner at the hotel, featuring Omi beef and other Shiga Prefecture specialties? This is a recommended hotel where you can enjoy both the historical scenery of Kyoto and the view of Lake Biwa, which Shiga is proud of.

  • From Otsu Station, it takes about 10 minutes to Kyoto Station.

  • How about Lake Biwa Hotel in Shiga Prefecture, next to Kyoto Prefecture? It's easily accessible, just a 10-minute train ride from JR Otsu Station to Kyoto Station. The lake-view rooms and balconies offer panoramic views of the magnificent Lake Biwa. With a wide selection of onsen(hot spring) and dining options, it's a great base for sightseeing, and a stay at the hotel is also a great way to unwind.

Hotel Nikko Nara

8-1,Sanjo-Hommachi

  • Convenient hotel with direct access to JR Nara Station

  • We also recommend the Hotel Nikko Nara, which is directly connected to JR Nara Station. It's conveniently located just 45 minutes from Kyoto Station, and its breakfast, featuring Nara's local cuisine such as "chagayu" (tea porridge), is also a plus. It also has a large public bath that uses semi-natural onsen(hot spring).

  • We also recommend visiting Nara in addition to Kyoto.

  • How about staying in the ancient capital of Nara as a base for sightseeing in Kyoto? Hotel Nikko Nara is directly connected to JR Nara Station, and it takes about 45 minutes by rapid train to Kyoto Station. It is in a great location to easily enjoy sightseeing around Nara Park, including the Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple, as well as famous sites in Kyoto such as Sanjusangendo.

Kobe Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers

2-13 Koyocho-Naka Higashinada-Ku

  • You can also enjoy sightseeing in Kobe

  • For those who want to explore areas outside of Kyoto, why not stay at a hotel in the exotic port city of Kobe? You can expect excellent hospitality at this international brand hotel. The onsen(hot spring) facility directly connected to the hotel allows you to soothe your fatigue in an authentic natural hot onsen(hot spring) that uses 100% of the hotel's own hot spring water, which springs from 1,600 meters underground. Access to Kyoto Station is also reasonably easy, with just one train ride away.

Hotel Boston Plaza Kusatsu Biwako

Kusatsu Station Sough Wing Boston Square, Kusatsu, Shiga

  • A hidden gem hotel just 20 minutes from Kyoto Station

  • It is located right in front of JR Kusatsu Station in Shiga Prefecture, and if you take the special rapid train you can get to Kyoto Station in about 20 minutes. The hotel has an American classic theme, and you can feel an exotic atmosphere that is different from Kyoto. It is recommended for those who want to minimize the travel time to Kyoto while keeping costs down.
