Every room has a kitchen, cookware and a dining table, with the washbasin separate from the bathroom. The family apartments are 40 square meters, with two single beds and a bunk bed. Some look out on the shinkansen; one faces a Japanese garden with a veranda; in another, a hundred Pokemon greet you. Baby baths, tableware and card games are lent out, and strollers come from a rental service by the hour. Kyoto Station is two minutes away on foot.
