Third, staying in a lodge usually provides access to a variety of activities, from traditional tea ceremonies to cooking classes and sightseeing. This is a great way to experience more of the city without committing to a more expensive and time-consuming itinerary. Plus, if you're looking for more traditional finds, lodgings often offer access to local markets and shops where you can find unique items and souvenirs.
Finally, there is something peaceful and relaxing about staying in a lodge during your travels. Most lodges are located away from busy city centers and set in peaceful Japanese gardens and courtyards, which all provide a perfect opportunity to just relax and take in the beauty of the city.
So if you're looking for an affordable and memorable experience in Kyoto, then a lodge might be the right choice for you. Enjoy the convenience and charm of a modern Western-style lodge while still enjoying all that Kyoto has to offer.
