Answers You are looking for

• What are the Famous hotels in Kyoto, Japan 

  Look at Kyoto Station (Hotel Granvia Kyoto, The Thousand Kyoto), Gion/Higashiyama (Hyatt Regency Kyoto, boutique machiya stays), and Kibune (traditional ryokans with river decks). These are examples to help you shortlist—pick by budget and dates.

• I prefer cashless travel. Will cards and mobile wallets work?

  Major spots take cards, but carry some yen for shrine offerings and small eateries. Convenience-store ATMs (e.g., 7-Eleven) usually accept foreign cards. Mobile wallets work if your bank supports them.

• Any simple shrine etiquette I should know?

  At a torii gate, bow once before entering; avoid standing in the centre when walking through. At the purification basin, rinse left hand, right hand, then mouth (don’t touch the ladle to lips). Photos: be mindful, no tripods where they block paths.

• Can I reserve train seats easily without Japanese?

  Yes. Station machines and counters are available with English options. You can also use apps to book reserved Shinkansen seats; ordinary class is fine for most trips.

Shrines to explore in Japan

• Fushimi Inari Taisha is the principal shrine of the Inari shrines. According to tradition, the Hata clan founded it on the first Horse Day of February in 711, during the Nara period; the clan held significant power in Yamashiro Province.
