Kyoto on a Budget: K's House Backpackers Hostel

One of the famous spots in Kyoto...the Golden Pavillion

After having a great time in Tokyo, I went back to Kyoto to spend a night before heading back to Osaka for my flight back to Manila.

I haven been to Kyoto in the past but I have never been to the "must see" spots. As much as possible I try  to avoid touristy spots. But Kyoto is Kyoto, one of the top tourist destination in the whole of Japan so expect tourist everywhere.

The first time I was here  I arrived night time and I was not able to locate my hostel so I ended up sleeping at the train station.

This time around I was able to locate it.

I made the right decision in choosing this hostel, though it is more expensive than the other hostels around the area. This place is well maintained and has a nice interior design. The staff are English speaking and very helpful. There's also free WIFI so you get to update your friends online while you are in Kyoto.
