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.

no public rooms in the better

Our table was only coffee table

The Japanest give as much at
tention to the preparing and
serving of their food as to the
cooking of It. 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
