Sightseeing on a Budget in Kyoto
Japan is not a cheap country to travel around, and that’s especially true in major cities such as Kyoto, but with a little advance planning, you can make it affordable. Here are our top tips for enjoying the best of Kyoto on a modest budget.
Book a combination tour
The charming city of Nara is close to Kyoto, making it possible to explore both in one day.
Charter a private vehicle
It can actually be a money saver if you’re traveling with a group.
Choose a tour that includes a meal or tastings
Instead of booking a regular walking tour, choose one that includes food tastings.
Buy a travel pass
It might make sense to purchase a multi-day pass that allows unlimited train travel.
