I want to see the Kannon Bodhisattva at Sanjusangendo Temple in Kyoto!

Question

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.

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 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.

We also recommend the Hotel Nikko Nara, which is directly connected to JR Nara Station. It is conveniently located just 45 minutes from Kyoto Station, and the breakfast includes local Nara cuisine such as "cha-gayu" (tea porridge). It also has a large public bath that uses semi-natural hot spring water.

For those who want to enjoy areas other than Kyoto, how about a hotel in the exotic port city of Kobe? You can expect excellent hospitality at this international brand hotel. At the hot spring facility directly connected to the hotel, you can soothe your fatigue in an authentic natural hot spring that uses 100% of the hotel's own hot spring water that springs from 1,600 meters underground. Access to Kyoto Station is reasonably easy, with only a one-hour train ride away.

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.
