Wendy planned a family trip together with her second sister on this trip. There were 6 people in 2 big and 8 small groups. Originally, the second sister wanted to live in a machiya house in Kyoto. The so-called Kyoto machiya refers to the construction of wooden shafts before 1950 (Showa 25). The traditional wooden house in Beijing is full of Kyoto style. It is indeed a good experience, but considering that Kyomachi houses usually only have one set of bathroom equipment, it would be troublesome for 8 people to take a bath at night, and we don’t have the habit of bathing together, so we finally chose to give up. Switch to the first serviced apartment in Kyoto.
The room type of Kyoto Nijo Castle Store is very simple. In fact, it has two design styles: Western style and Japanese style, plus the option of connecting rooms. The space of each room is 40 square meters.The Western-style room is planned to have an independent living room space, and the bedroom is planned to have 2 single beds plus a lower bunk, which can accommodate four people, and children will like it very much; the Japanese-style room is planned to be a tatami space, which is the living room space during the day, and can be made for 3 people to sleep at night. Plus 2 single beds in the bedroom, it can be shared by five people.
Originally, Wendy wanted to book a western-style connecting room, so that the two children of the second sister could experience the fun of bunk beds, but considering that Hamburger was only at the crawling stage at the time, she finally chose a Japanese-style connecting room, so that Hamburger could crawl in the Japanese room to his heart's content.The biggest advantage of Japanese-style connecting rooms is that the two families can live and rest independently without interfering with each other. Each room is equipped with a washing machine and laundry detergent, which means that there are two sets of bathrooms and two washing machines. Bathing and laundry at night are fast and convenient.
