    “I recommend it as a family accommodation with great cost performance.”

    I had difficulty reserving accommodation for a family of five, but I found an apartment accommodation called Mimaru and stayed there for 2 nights in Osaka at Mimaru Shinsaibashi West. The Kyoto accommodation had a washing machine and dryer, which was great because I was able to wash the clothes I needed on the last day. There aren’t any convenience stores nearby, but if you walk 15 minutes, there are dining areas and convenience stores. Reservations for dinner are a must at restaurants, so please keep that in mind. The accommodation was spacious, had tatami mats, was hygienic, and had a traditional low table, which I liked. The scenery was also nice; it was charming because, being Kyoto, the roofs of the houses were tiled. It was an exceptionally satisfying place to stay, as we only needed a place to sleep after sightseeing during the day. There was a bathtub, so the kids also played in the water with bath bombs. I think I will use Mimaru accommodation in other areas as well, and having Korean staff was an added bonus.

    “I want to stay again.”

    The room was clean and stylishly designed, and I appreciated that the bedroom and living room were separate. My favorite part was the spacious living room table and sofa. It also had a kitchen and even a washing machine, making it very comfortable for my family of four to stay for two nights. The location was great, facing the main street, and the staff were friendly. I highly recommend this hotel and would like to stay here again.

    “This is the only place I have used for family trips to Kyoto.”

    It's cheap. However, it's not just the low price; when considering comfort, usability, location, and other factors, the cost performance is extremely strong. I've used it about 4 or 5 times already. Honestly, I don't want to tell too many people about it.

    “A hotel I want to stay at again.”

    There is a convenience store nearby, and the station is within walking distance. The room has facilities to cook, and the bathroom and toilet are separate. The staff are also very pleasant. I have no complaints at all. If you are staying with children, I recommend this place. There is also a washing machine available.
