Finding accommodations in Kyoto during the period of UCGP2008 will be very difficult by yourself because late November is a peak time for people coming to Kyoto to enjoy famous burning leaves.

You may want to use the following booking website, though most hotels seem to be already full.

We suppose that most foreign invited speakers will want to stay until Saturday (Nov 29) morning, but the hotel (Shirankaikan) is already fully booked for the night of Nov 28, unfortunately. There are however some possible options for people who want to stay until Saturday morning.

5 single rooms are available at Kyodaikaikan, and 2 twin rooms are available at Shirankaikan. Please let us know if you want to use those rooms.
JTB has started Hotel reservation service for UCGP2008, so please contact to JTB about accommodation for the night of Nov 28 using the &ref(): File not found: "Hotel_Reservation_Sheet_UCGP2008.pdf" at page "Accommodation";.
We may recommend you to find a room in Osaka for the night of Nov 28, since we suppose you will go to Osaka-Kansai airport anyway for your returning flight. Umeda and Shin-osaka areas are probably the best area for people coming from Kyoto and going to Kansai airport. There are a lot of hotels there. The followings are some typical examples.

  - Shin-osaka Washington Plaza hotel [ asiarooms ]
  - Toyoko Inn Shin-osaka (Honkan)
  - Toyoko Inn Shin-osaka (Shinkan)
- Umeda area (Central Osaka)
  [Kyoto -(Hankyu train)-> Umeda -(Bus)-> Kansai airport]
  - Hotel New Hankyu Osaka (airport bus departs from here)
  - Toyoko Inn Umeda Nakastu
- Kansai airport area
  [Kyoto -(JR train or Bus or Shuttle)-> Kansai airport]
  - Hotel Nikko Kansai Airport (only hotel located in the airport island)
  - ANA Gate Tower Hotel Osaka
