I'm planning to go to Kyoto and Osaka arriving on the 20th of Oct and leaving on the 24th.. Should I stay at Osaka or Kyoto?? I tried to book a few place in both Osaka and Kyoto but it seems that most places are fully booked. Is it because most places have free cancelation policies? is it going to be easier to look for one closer to the dates?
Do you guys have any recommendation on where to stay? I am looking for a private room with private bathroom , preferably near station at around 10,000yen/ night
thank you

If there's REALLY nothing left, you can try other places nearby, e.g. Otsu City in Shiga Prefecture (it's just a few minutes by train from Kyoto), Nara, Kobe etc. :)

As I checked through Trivago, http://www.trivago.jpthere are plenty of rooms available in Kyoto for 20th Oct. I have not searched for other dates and for Osaka, I believe there should be many left. On the other hand, it is said among Japanese people that the business hotels tend to be fully booked this year, especially for Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, which I personally experienced. Some says this is due to free-cancellation policies. This year the number of foreign tourists increase, and they concentrate in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. Further many of the foreign tourists do not know the "normal" fare for these cities, so some hotels take very high rate. The tourists (both domestic and foreign) therefore use free cancellation policy to take cheaper rates which in turn get the rate higher. Two days before the actual date, there are some "released" rooms which the rate is relatively low. Actually, you can see some hotels show rather cheap rate for tomorrow.
