Will you stay in Kobe, Osaka, or Kyoto? Kobe is probably the 'slowest'
of the three, nightlife-wise. Lots of great restaurants and you can
get some good deals on hotels. Osaka has probably the best nightlife
in the area; the only problem is that the nightlife is generally in
the Namba/Shinsaibashi area; that's a few subway stops away from Osaka
station, and you'll most likely be traveling to/from Osaka at the key
rush hour times.

The most common place to stay in the region is Kyoto; that's where
most of the key cultural sights are. The nightlife isn't too bad in
Kyoto (a lot depends on what you're looking for), and you have ample
restaurants to eat at. The bonus is that you can walk or take a bus to
just about anyplace you want to go.
