Breakfast and hotel gardens

The hotel has traditional Japanese Gardens planted around the windows. It creates a look of being in the forest, but you are in the middle of town. The garden in the photo at the right is maybe a yard deep, but that is a generous estimate. I will take more photos later.

When you go down to breakfast, you give the Person a coupon that shows you are a guest of the hotel. Breakfast is served buffet style. The food is very good, and choices are vegetables, eggs, (my favorite is the soft boiled eggs in sweetened soy sauce.) fish, bacon, sausage links, and salad. They have soup at every meal. I usually choose water and Tomato Juice to drink but they have milk and orange juice as well.
Most people choose to sit facing the window so that they can look out at the garden. There is very soft classical music playing, and very little talking. I think I have heard two conversations. One on the first day, and one yesterday. It makes dining a very pleasant experience. The music isn't blaring at you and the people are not shouting to be heard over the music. It creates a very peaceful start to the day.
