Kath room In th Inn was In (lKIJually decorated In a almpl but tasteful way. Th wan beams wr trwtt and branches with th wallbonrd cut to fit vcry curv of the wood. The fluora wer nnrred with tataml mats made of woven rice straw. They are In all Japanese homes and are always th same size. They are about two Inches thick. igea In black and always arranged In rwtaln natterns. A room in Japan Is built to accomodate certain number of tataml ar ranced In a certain way. Ther was no furniture other than a few xabutans, th floor cushions the Japanese use to sit on. and a closet and drawers built In on wall. Knowing I was hot and tired after mv Diane ride, the girl w ho showed me my room alno showed m the bath. A Japanese bath is like no other in the world It is usually a small room with a rock or tile floor and a huge sunken bath in one corner filled with steamlnz hot water. In Japan, you do not get Into the tub to bathe as we do. You sit on a wooden stool about six Inches high on the rock floor, wet yourself from a nearby faucet with a little wooden bucket, then soap and rinse. When you're completely clean of dirt and soap you get Into the tub to soak. The water Is always ro hot that It takes several minutes to get all the way In. Qmxtrai hotel euests use the s.imo water before It 19 changca. After all, you're clean by the imo von pet n the water, ine water Is heated with wood and wood is expensive in japan. Many Americans have caused furor and an added ex- tn.nst. to their bill because they did not understand the correct vL'nv to t ake a bath. The Japa nese are getting used to Ameri cans now and usually explain the way to take a bath with a shy grin and a mighty effort to suppress their giggles. I had dinner In the hotel. It would have been very difficult tr. nroVr pnouch to bring the iaIoI Viill to one dollar. I had rice and a serving bowl filled with noodles, vege aViioi and Dork for 40 cents, i I had a bottle of Japanese beer i ho iinv har in the center I of the inn. The bar was covered by a skylight which had a hole in it to accommodate the tree growing in one corner. I speak no Japanese and the English fpoken by the people in the bar was liimted to a few woras uiiu nhm.s. but the tremendous sense of humor that every Jap anese I met had, made the even Intr trulv delightful. u'hnn I returned to my room K.wi i.a.l hppn laid out. It consisted of a thick pad covered with a sheet under an enormous, heavy quilt, covered with a sec- r,n,l short. The PU10W was small bag filled with rice. It was hnrii tint comfortable. I had read about a restaurant in Tokyo that specialized in wild game. I finally found me name of the place in a brochure, but my troubles had oniy Degun. To find anything that isn't well known In the sprawling city of Tokyo you must first find out what district It's in men visit the local police station to flnfl it. ti,o first huildinET built in any ml. in Tnkvn is No. 1.

There are no public rooms in the better Japanese restaurants, only small private rooms. The walls can slide back to accommodate larger parties. Our table was only coffee table high, but fortunately lor our Western legs there was a large hole under the table. Our waitress soon arrived with the menu and a large pan 01 red hot charcoal which she put under the table below a grating.

As a result every thine served Is a delight to the eve as well as the palate. I want to co back to Japan someday as does nearly every one who visits there. In fact, I rauld like to live there for while. A person from the West as a lot to learn from an Orien tal culture. The Innate dignity. centuries of cultural background nd auiet sense or humor, to name but a few of their qualities, dded to an Americans outgonig friendliness, sense of adventure nd touch of the ribald would make an unbeatable combina tion.
