Accommodation, Peace as a Global Language Conference 2004

The following is a list of accommodation options for those participants who plan to stay in Kyoto during the conference. This is certainly not an exhaustive list and is aimed primarily at those on a budget. Please check back regularly for updates, including links to individual hotel home pages, where appropriate. Information on homestays can be found following the list of hotels.

Please be sure to secure your accomodation well in advance as rooms in Kyoto can book-up weeks and even months in advance, espcially so during the autumn.
