Kyoto ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Kyoto
What our students said about Kyoto
Kyoto is the ideal city to get an impression of Japan. In addition to sightseeing within Kyoto, you can take countless excursions into the surrounding area from there, as Kyoto is well connected: Omihachiman, Kobe, Osaka, Nara, Nagahama, Lake Biwa, Uji, Himeji Castle to Amanohashidate in the west or Wakayama in the east of Japan, can all be reached for day and weekend trips. My personal tip: buy or rent a bicycle and cover most of the distances. Although the bus connections are incredibly good (and there's also the underground), you get to know a city in a different way by bike. And cycling along the Kamogawa, surrounded by the mountains in the early morning or at sunset... Priceless.
