Hana Irodori No Yado Kayuu
Taiji|2.14km from JR Taiji Station
This was one of the weirdest hotel experiences I ever had. Due to some traffic delays we arrived at the hotel an hour later than ecpected at exactly 5 mintes past seven PM. The hotel restaurant was open with several tables vacant. However, when we asked to be seated we were asked in turn if we had a reservation? When we said no they declined to seat us as we had missed the reservation deadline (which was seven PM). Us pointing to the empty seats was to no avail. The next morning was even weirder. For Breakfast they only offer a buffet and again we were asked if we had a reservation? When we asked why that was necessary given that it was buffet style with many empty seats we were told ” no Breakfast without reservation”! So we left this hotel hungry.... The room? Was spacious but with a strange Layout. As is customary in Japan you take off your shoes at the entrance (genkan) but the wardrobe is at the other end of the room right next to the window. There was little to store your clothes so despite the large size of the room you basically have to keep everything in your suitcase. A second night stand (there was only one) would have been nice. Worst was the tiny size of the toilet exerbaceted by the positioning of the lamp right above the toilet seat (nothing to worry though if you are shorter than 180cm/6”). Opposite the hotel is a stadium where dolphin and (small) whale are held in captivity- shows are being performed. 
Very Good
