They have two restaurants. A traditional Japanese Breakfast at the American Buffet. Can you guess which plate is husbands and which one is mine?
The morning newspaper in English from the Japan Times Los Angeles.
The buffet area options
As you know already Japan has western style bidet toilets everywhere. These photos are from the hotel lobby toilet. I hadn't talked to the kids in 18 hours and I was balling my eyes out in the hotel lobby when I hung up. So I hit the rest room. Twice. When Husband came down from the room I cried.again!!
These are the controls on the walls when you walk in the stall. Immediately the sound of running water turns on. No shame making bathroom noises here! Running water is on for about 45 seconds with a restart button if needed. Feel free to pee.
To the right of the door is a foot rest, us Ganji don't need them unless you enjoy peeing with your chin resting on your knees?
The Japanese Star Festival, popular in the Tsunami affected prefecture, is July 7. The festival celebrates when once a year the vega god meets another god on the Milky Way. So guests can sign a colorful tag, which is hung on a bamboo tree, so they can send there prayers up to the gods. No longer practiced for environmental reasons, bamboo branches used to be floated down one of Hiroshimas 6 rivers so they would float to the gods as well.
The polite waiting in line still amazes me. We Americans stampede the door, rushing to the front to wait, in a half circle around the bus entrance. The Japanese wait single file in line - so proper!
Chinese Fruit - Yummy. Mikisan our guide said the coffee machine was labeled "weak coffee" in English, but it said "American Coffee" in Japanese Kanji.
Husband Texting our kids with Ninjago and Red Eye Tree Frog.
Our bathroom toiletries. The hotel room was nearly exactly the same as the hotel in Shin Yokohama. It's a little Stepford Wives again!! Same toiletries, same bed sheets, pillows and duvet. The headboard and decor was different (phew). It was a nicer hotel, for a lesser price. We asked for a large bed (instead of twins) so the put us, after some fuss, on a non renovated floor. Husband said the hallway smelled like feet. It was yucky-ish. They don't really do a good job cleaning the rooms. It gets the basics, but I don't think they ever shook the rugs, or visible scuff marks from the walls.
Hotel shiping shop and store.
