Lovely
hotel
from
a
national
chain
located
conveniently
next
to
the
station.
Gaijin
not
welcome
though.
Been
staying
in
some
older
country
hotels
the
previous
2
days
and
been
treated
kindly
all
the
way,
and
checked
in
and
out
with
no
troubles.
Reservation
found
and
processed
quickly.
Today
checking
in
here
was
a
reality
slap
in
the
face
that
I'd
returned
to
the
coldness
of
suburbia/urbia.
Reserved
the
room
under
my
name.
3
unmistakable
katakana
sounds.
Staff
couldn't
process
the
data
of
those
3
sounds
in
their
brains.
Finally
found
the
original
reservation
info
email
and
showed
it
to
them
and
they
found
the
reservation,
albeit
with
a
bit
of
a
disappointed
reaction
(oh
darn
I
guess
he
IS
our
customer
:-(
).
That
was
before
check
in
and
just
wanted
to
leave
my
bag
until
check
in.
Came
back
at
check
in
time
and
re-pronounced
my
name
as
it
was
reserved
to
the
SAME
staff,
and
they
couldn't
find
it
again.
Got
the
email
out
again
and
it
was
found.
Ojisan
staff
guy
brings
his
charm
to
the
situation
and
starts
grilling
me
for
ID,
etc.
Finally
sort
that
out
and
get
a
room
key.
Overall
reaction
of
the
oyaji
and
robot
girl
counter
staff
was
disappointment
that
I'd
somehow
"got
in".
They'll
deny
it
left
and
right
but
I
can
tell
foreigners
don't
come
here
much,
and
aren't
welcome
much.
