No trip to the hotel just to drop your bags. You get your whole arrival day for sightseeing.
Arrive at Kyoto Station in the morning. Hand your luggage to KOMATSU in front of Kyoto Theatre at the Central Exit (north side).
Walk to teamLab Biovortex Kyoto without your bags. It is about 12 minutes on foot from Kyoto Theatre (Google Maps, approximate).
Enter with a timed ticket. teamLab says the average visit is more than 2 hours 30 minutes.
Spend the afternoon sightseeing. We deliver your luggage to the hotel. The delivery time is arranged when we confirm your booking.
In the evening, go from Kyoto Station to the hotel on foot, or by the train or bus a map app suggests. Reception is open 24 hours.
