I have heard that the heat is oppressive in the summer (I've been in Korea this time of year and it really is hot so I'm assuming it will be a similar climate). Hoping it won't spoil our trip. Definitely wishing the Hyatt in Kyoto had a pool. And will be sure to stay hydrated! Thanks folks
When we went last August it was really hot and humid, but we made due and it definitely didn't spoil the trip. Like you said stay hydrated and make good use of all of the vending machines!
We also stayed at the Hyatt in Kyoto on our trip. The hotel is excellent, but it isn't too centrally located. There is a bus stop nearby that you can use to get around much of the city, but if you want to use the trains you'll have to take a 15-20 minute walk.
