Hot Water From Heaven

[rachelmanija]

I am writing this from the New Koyo, the cheapest hotel in Tokyo. (That is actually how it advertises itself.) It is an excellent deal, though the rooms are only large enough for a futon, a TV, a closet, and a suitcase. Bobby, the proprietor, is a very cool, friendly, funny guy who speaks perfect English and knows Tokyo the way only a man who has

...oh, huh! That's where I stayed when I was in Tokyo. Great little place. I didn't even know there was a hot tub, though; I just used the showers with the "hold lever to get hot water" thing downstairs.

It ONCE had a hot tub. Alas. I love it, though.

I am so going to an onsen next time! That's the one thing I really wanted to do that we missed.

No more hot tub? Sniff.

(I stayed there when I went to Worldcon, on your reccommendation, and they were fantasticl, particularly when the company that was supposed to deliver my backpack.. didn't. I did get it back, eventually, but I was in a slight state of panic. Made travelling back to Britain much easier, though...)

That sounds incredibly awesome.
