Internet cafes in Kyoto?
 

Are there internet cafés in Kyoto? If yes, do the computers there have Western keyboards?

Don't know about the keyboards, but check cybercafe.com for or a list of internet cafes by city/country.

Thank you, cicerone! Splendid idea, they mention three locations.

Two years ago there was only one internet cafe in Kyoto that we could find. It had western keyboards on some of the computers.

There is a place you can use next to the Kyoto train station. It is not exactly a cafe but you can use their computers. Their charges were quite cheap.

Sorry me again - the "internet cafe" is opposite the train station about a 5 min walk. Go towards the restaurant which serves sushi and cross at the traffic controlled crosswalk.Its on the corner next to a deli. You have to go up a lift-I think there is a photo developing shop on the bottom.

If you want more details send message back.

The JNTO has a tourist office in the Kyoto train station office which has internet computers available for 100Y per 15 minutes. There's a tourist office on the bottom floor, but they will direct you to the upstairs office which is for foreign tourists and has English speaking personnel, a library of books and maps, as well as the computers.
