having trouble finding a hotel

I%26#39;ll be in Tokyo for a week at the end of this month and I%26#39;ve been told to visit Kyoto. I%26#39;m planning on going for a night or two, but am having trouble finding availability in the hotels.

I%26#39;d like to stay from March 26th to 27th or 28th. If anyone has any advice about finding a reasonably priced place to stay that would be great. My budget is around $150 per night for two people.

Thank you

After trying others, you might try this new hotel that charges by the room, not by PP. It is a bit higher than your budget for the busy cherry blossom season.

Selection is indeed extremely limited. Available as at posting time, per room, double occupancy.

9500 http://www.guest-inn-kyoto.jp/

9200 http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~p-koto/

14000(on Rakutan Japanese website, higher rate and no vacancy on its own website) http://www.apahotel.com/~language/en/hotel/kyotogion/index.html

You could also consider staying in Osaka. Hotels are better value and it is an easy trip to Kyoto by train.

Staying in Osaka is actually good option you should consider.

As more and more domestic tourists head to Kyoto these days, hotels are often fully occupied and more demands means more money(Higher rates)

Lesser Japanese travel overseas due to declining economy, more people head to domestic destinations. I think temples in Kyoto announced they had record high visitors last couple years. This means you will see more of those stupid monks drinking at expensive bars in Gion.

GpldenMango,

The mango turns golden when rotted. Tell me you%26#39;re not an American.

I am fairly sure Goldenmango is not American :-)
