Japanese style hotel in Nagoya

In Nagoya Yasuyo had helped me make reservations for a Japanese style hotel which included sleeping on mats on the floor, shared bathrooms and a traditional Japanese bath house which has a place to rinse and wash yourself and then a deep community soaking tub. It brought back memories of the hammam in Morocco, but this was a much more relaxed version and you were on your own here, unlike the Moroccan hammam.

Somehow I got a room next to the dorm room (kind of like a youth hostile) and ended up in what has to have been the noisiest place in all of Japan. On the street people are very quiet, but this group of young people were anything but and partied late into the night. Luckily I was tired enough to sleep anyway.
