Bed and Breakfast
We just got back from the hotel breakfast. There were croissants and bread, and a nice lemon (?) pastry, along with orange juice and coffee. It's 8:45am JST and we have don't have anything specific to do until 9:30 so I thought I would add some more pictures.
This a view of our bedroom. Notice how small it is, but very comfortable. There is no place to put more than one suitcase to open it so mine is just at the end of my bed (by the window). There is a small close so Megan and I hung our dress clothes so they wouldn't be wrinkled for tomorrow.
This is our bathroom. I read about how the Japanese shower online and it is very different from America. Notice how deep the tub is. In Japan it is customary to wet yourself, then step out of the shower and soap yourself down then rinse yourself while still outside the tub. The entire bathroom is actually sunk into the floor so the water won't get in your room, and there is a drain under the sink. Once you are clean, you can get back in the tub for a soak. Megan and I decided to just shower the traditional American way however since we were short on time.
This is the view from our room. Our hotel, the Presso Inn, is located in the financial district of Tokyo so there isn't too much open on the weekend. The rain seems to have stopped so hopefully we'll get lucky since we have so much walking to do.
