3 Affordable Hostels in Kyoto if You’re Traveling on a Budget

Japan isn’t exactly the most affordable country to visit, but if you’re traveling to Kyoto, it’s possible to save a lot of money by staying at one of its cheap hostels – including these three.

Kyoto Hostel Zen

In addition to being conveniently located in Kyoto’s Nakagyo Ward, this hostel has everything you need for a conformable stay, such as air-conditioned rooms and a shared kitchen. It also hosts a wide range of fun activities, including yoga classes and samurai boot camp.

WeBase Kyoto

If we had to choose the most stylish Kyoto hostel where you can rent a bed for $15 or less, it would be this one. WeBase’s lounge is a sight to behold, and the rest of its facilities have the same clean modern flair.

Bird Hostel

Located only a few minutes away from Imperial Palace, this is another affordable hostel in Kyoto that features everything you’d expect from an establishment of its kind – including breakfast and toiletries that you usually don’t get for free at cheap hostels.
