General Travel in Japan

I can't afford his hotel lah …$1k a night. I was hoping to get your rate $69 a nite, or maybe $169. Since it is Jipun, I should be willing to pay more, say $269. $1k per night, I will look for capsule hotel. Got any there or not?
$69 a night. may go up to $169 during peak season. please hurry.

jippun discriminates against niggers and shitskins ok. if you're black and famous you'll be depicted as fairskin. naomi osaka is going to the finals of the arsetralian open (arse open) because she has mostly nigger genes. black is da best! if you're black and patronizes an onsen they will sanitize the whole pool immediately after use.

Don't they have lots of Black Brazilian in Jipun?
 
Just checking hotel vacancy in October ...lots of hotel sold out. Which site do you use to book hotel?

For ryokan I will use japanican.com

For hotels use agoda.com

Sometimes I just get my assistant to do the booking especially if I go officially for biz, she’s pretty good at this.

Checked in to another ryokan today at Sounkyo. Came here to see the Ice Waterfall Festival

Big room


Fireworks at the festival
 
I have never experienced this type of extreme temperature before (at most -2 degC). Went to a festival at around 8.30pm temperature was -12degC and now is -16degC.

Room is also very cold I think like 18degC still pretty cold for me. Better go crawl under my futon.
