Accommodation: 

We are sorry, but the special period for booking “Co-op Inn Kyoto” through Yeats Japan is over. (The deadline was the end of October.)  Those who are going to book accommodation are now asked to do by themselves.
For those who will stay at “Co-op Inn Kyoto,” the hotel website is here: http://www.coopinn.jp/
It takes about 15 min to get to Kyoto University by taxi. Taxi sharing will be the best option.  Hotel charges: 6700 yen + tax per night except Saturday night (11000 yen + tax) .

 

Travel Guide:
Unfortunately, there is no direct connection between Yeats and Kyoto, but Kyoto is a city many members of both societies may wish to visit. A travel guide by Kyoto City contains much yet concise information of tours, world heritage sites, etc.
