To everyone thinking about visiting Kyoto! I’m speaking directly to your heart if you’re planning a trip to Kyoto.
Stay in Nara instead. You can save on accommodation costs—about one-third of what you’d pay in Kyoto. It’s just a 35-minute train ride to Kyoto. Plus, you get the bonus of seeing Nara's famous deer.
Even on Japanese hotel websites, the difference is about 2,000 yen.
So, let’s stay in Nara!
