Following a revision of accommodation tax regulations, effective October 1, 2018, the City of Kyoto implemented an accommodation tax for all overnight stays. Important Update:
Beginning March 1, 2026, Kyoto City has updated their accommodation tax rates. For all stays on or after March 1, 2026, the new Kyoto City Accommodation Tax rate will apply.

Accordingly, we will charge a separate accommodation tax based on your accommodation fee as determined by the Kyoto City government:
| Accommodation Fee (Per Person/Per Night) | Tax Amount |
|---|---|
| Under 20,000 yen | 200 yen |
| From 20,000 yen to under 50,000 yen | 500 yen |
| 50,000 yen and over | 1,000 yen |
Total Accommodation fee for 1 Night = 20,000 yen
20,000 yen ÷ 2 Guests = 10,000 yen/per person (per night)
Accommodation Tax = 200 yen/per person
Total Accommodation Tax (2 Guests, 1 Night) = 400 yen
Total Accommodation fee for 2 Nights = 80,000 yen (40,000 yen/per night)
40,000 yen ÷ 2 Guests = 20,000 yen/per person (per night)
Accommodation Tax = 500 yen/per person
Total Accommodation Tax (2 Guests, 2 Nights) = 2000 yen
| Accommodation Fee (Per Person/Per Night) | Tax Amount (Per Person) |
|---|---|
| Under 6,000 yen | 200 yen |
| From 6,000 yen to under 20,000 yen | 400 yen |
| From 20,000 yen to under 50,000 yen | 1,000 yen |
| From 50,000 yen to under 100,000 yen | 4,000 yen |
| Over 100,000 yen | 10,000 yen |
