Hotels in Kinki, Japan
Kinki (Kansai) is a region in central Honshu, Japan, with a humid subtropical climate-summers from June to August are hot and humid (25-35°C / 77-95°F), while winters from December to February are mild and dry (5-10°C / 41-50°F). It's famous for historic cities like Kyoto-home to the 17th-century Kiyomizu-dera temple and the bamboo grove of Arashiyama-and Osaka, known for its street food, like takoyaki at Dotonbori. In spring (March-May), you can see cherry blossoms at Maruyama Park in Kyoto; in autumn (October-November), the fiery maple leaves at Nara's Todai-ji temple are stunning. During summer, you can join the Gion Matsuri festival in Kyoto or dodge rain while exploring Osaka Castle's museum; in winter, visit Himeji Castle (the original 1609 structure) with fewer crowds and cheaper hotels.
