Hi everyone. This entry was throwback on our holiday with the kids and family back in Feb 2014. It is still winter in Japan, but no so much snow except the area near to the Mt Fuji.
Some preparation has been done before going to Japan as we are consisting of 6 adults, 2 toddlers and 1 kid. We have planned to go Osaka -Kyoto -Japan for sightseeing. We do have some budget, so we split the task, my sister will be made the arrangement on Osaka-Kyoto itinerary and plan, while husband and I have arranged for Tokyo itinerary.
I thought maybe you might want to know how we plan especially with the kids around so.....here we go. For accommodation in Osaka-Kyoto, we used this online booking website https://www.airbnb.com/
There is a lot of choices of houses that we can choose based on our preferences. It is advisable to take one whole house as it is cheaper if you travel more than 4 people. It is worthy as we have a place to get together, cook, chatting, rest and spaces for kids to play in a cosy way plus it is winter time...:P
For Honeymoon couple, you can choose for a private room or the entire house as well. The steps are easy, and the house host is easy to contact and communicate with.
Airbnb
The condo that we rented is consisting of 3 bedrooms which we rated it as cosy and comfortable for us who bring family and kids to travel with. The house host also provided with some food and not so fussy and stingy in giving extra food and attend to any request made by us. Oh ya...not to forget they also provided with portable WIFI. Thank you so much Ichiro and Sam.
Here it shows the location of the condo.
some of the pictures of the condo that you will rent will also appear in that webpage
Here are some details on the house and the house host detail
The above picture is the website of the taxi that we rent to bring us for sightseeing in Osaka and Kyoto. Since the taxi service will only fetch us at a specified location at a specific train station, so we decided to just walk to the nearest station near to the condo which is the shijonawate station and stop at the station mentioned.
For our trip, we are lucky that our house host, Nam has offered herself to arrange the booking for us. I recommend you to rent the taxi if you come with the family and small kids. It is much more comfortable, and you can rest while they take you for sightseeing for one places to another. But if you are adventure enough, you can take a ride by train and changing the train to one place to another. The taxi driver also is our tour guide as he speaks in English.
I will continue some of the pictures over there and travel agent that we used in Tokyo in the next entry...
