Kyoto Internet Cafe Accommodation
Matthew Baxter
A great way to save money. Starting from an around one thousand yen, internet cafes are a super cheap way to stay in the city. Probably much more comfortable than what you are used to back home, they are often the best way to stay the night downtown. They are also great if you have missed your last train.
Staying the night at an internet cafe is easy. Pictures menus show what is available and there is usually an English translation to help. Prices may vary a little depending on the location. Check out our map below for locations.
Internet Cafes can get very busy at the weekend. Therefore, we highly recommend saving the map below, or printing it out in case your internet cafe gets full up.
