Hi everyone! Yesterday we visited the Hatagaya Hotel just to get to know
the Sakura group a little bit better. Firstly, we had lunch at the Hatagaya
cafe, which is obviously part of the hotel. Before I start describing the hotel,
I think its good to know that I came to Japan to experience a different culture,
and not just go to another place with a western culture with just a different
climate, that is why I really enjoyed the hotel. Its a hotel which would not fit
(literally) in the western society, which to me is a good thing. It started with
the elevator, which couldn't take more than five people, so three had to take
the stairs. Then when we entered the room I knew right away that it would be
great for people who want to experience Japan. Its a small room, and whereas
with other rooms I just have to bend over slightly to get through the door, in
this room I couldn't even fit through the door in width! That is not a negative
remark, its just an observation which I found great, since in the Netherlands
everything is a lot bigger.
(Tom and myself showing how small the doorway actually is.)
In the end I can say it was a good experience to see what a Japanese hotel
looks like. Tomorrow we're visiting another hotel, hotel Asakusa, and I'm really
looking forward to it.
