The oulfella's a bit of a strag so I think a Kyoto Ryokan would break his mind. He's the person who went to Washington DC for the first family foreign holiday in 26 years and specifically picked a hotel with an Irish Bar beneath it. Good bar mind. So I'm sort of trying to keep from breaking his brain which means generally sticking to hotels where they won't mind an old grey blundering around. The one exception being the Hakone hotspring place - but that's almost mandatory.
I'm sort of managing budget, but the usual studant options of hostels or AirBnB are out because of the oulfella - he'll complain if he's not in somewhere organised or 'sensible' - he doesn't do adventure well. He complained at the idea of not being in Tokyo for the final, before I explained to him Tokyo accomodation around the final time is painful - and that it wouldn't be hard to daytip on the Shinkansen with the JR pass if he really wanted to do. I spent a lot of cash on the Hakone place, because it was just so luxurious, so don't have as much from the accomodation budget for Kyoto as it really needs.
Osaka's almost close enough a base.
Amn't sure how KLM will work for a big, tall, fatguy, but so it goes. If I fits, I sits.

Oh sweet meteor of death
Fall upon us.
Deliver us in fire
To Peace everlasting.
