Location of newly opened hotel in Kyoto
Going back to the use of the Kyoto City Government to levy accommodation tax, planning to use it to improve transportation, foreign language services, cultural relics repairs and environmental maintenance. Wendy feels that foreign language services are particularly important. When staying at a hotel next to Kujo Station, he encountered a foreign language The person pointed at the counter and cursed, to the effect that he didn’t tell him there was no room, which made him come all the way, guessing that it was probably because of poor communication on the phone. Or do not understand the meaning of the other party.
It is said that reservations made during the tourist peak season in Kyoto must be confirmed again and again before departure, because accidents always come suddenly. During the peak season when a room is hard to find, there are really accidents in the reservation. You can really only try APA series hotels or Capsule hotel Hello!
