Here's some pics of the hostel I stayed at in Kyoto: Hostel Haruya. What a great place! It's a traditional, old Japanese house, complete with futons, tatami mat floors, and sliding paper walls. It was beautifully furnished and included everything I could have needed: internet, washing machine, books, hapi coats to wear when cold, and a small kitchen. The host was so nice. He greeted me with a personalized itinerary and always informed me about the daily weather.
Haruya is within walking distance of many tourist sites including the Silver Pavilion and the Gion District. I saved a lot of money by walking. Also, there is a traditional bath house around the corner which was fun to experience.
If you are planning a trip to Kyoto, I recommend this hostel and look forward to returning there myself one day.
