It may not have high-end luxury facilities, but it can make people experience the local customs, people's enthusiasm and service, and it is different from previous life.

B&B refers to the use of idle rooms in self-occupied houses, combined with local humanities, natural landscapes, ecology, environmental resources and agricultural, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry production activities, to provide personalized accommodation for travelers who go out for an outing or travel far. In addition to ordinary hotels and guest houses, other places that can provide accommodation for tourists, such as houses, leisure centers, farms, farmhouses, pastures, etc. , can be classified as a homestay.

The emergence of B&B is inevitable, and it will not happen in Japan or Taiwan Province Province of China. Services of a similar nature can be seen all over the world. Due to different environment and cultural life, the name B&B will be slightly different in different countries in the world.

function

A typical Japanese hotel has a relatively large lobby with sofas and chairs, where guests can chat. There is usually a TV in the lobby of modern hotels. The guest room is built according to the traditional Japanese method: the floor is tatami and the door is a sliding door.

Even if hotels use hinged doors to ensure safety, they usually lead to a small entrance where guests can enter their shoes, step on the tatami floor and separate it from the sliding door. Many Japanese hotel rooms also have porches or balconies and sliding doors.

Almost all hotels have the same function as bathrooms or toilets. Usually men and women are separated, and hot springs (hot springs) are used nearby. Areas with natural hot springs tend to attract highly concentrated Japanese hotels. Luxury hotels in Japan can also provide private bathing facilities. Usually, Japanese hotels will provide bathrobes for guests to wear; They may also have games, such as table tennis and clogs, so tourists can take a walk.

Bedding is futon on tatami floor. When guests enter their rooms for the first time, they usually find a table and something to make tea. When guests bring food into the room, the dining table can also be used for eating. When the guests go out, the staff (usually called nakai) moves the table aside and spreads out the futon.
