I lived in Tokyo, Japan as a child (3rd grade to 6th grade) between 1979-83 - I can see, hear, and even smell the Showa in this video! 😀-- What a time it was! Great! Brings back wonderful memories of a truly beautiful country - I've lived all over the world and live in the US at present, but Japan is Japan - great country, great people, very decent, civilized and kind human beings. Greatest country in the world! Thank you!🙏
Thank you for showing this hotel. Personally I would have declined as soon as I saw how much rusted and decay it was especially seeing the bed take out the blue light lol . But when you got 14 minutes into it I decided I want to go to this place. It's a shame that money isn't been diverted and update to the building appearance. Thank you for giving me something to watch on a Sunday from Japan.. man I wish I was in financial position to travel in this existence. That's what I would do if I had the opportunity.

I hope you are one day blessed with the funds to travel. 🙇♂️
this place is amazing. I suspect the rusty metal and paint peeling are left that way on purpose, it adds to the retro feel. The owner cares, obviously, otherwise it wouldn’t be so clean, and they wouldn’t still be buttering bread every day! ❤
The English subtitles are really well done. Thank you. I hope to experience a place like this. I don't mind its flaws and age as that is what gives it character.

I love your channel. That looks like a very interesting retro style hotel. Safe travels.😊
I like your politeness on the things you experienced in this hotel. I would have called this place "CSI: Niigata"

But the hotel has already seen its best days, hasn't it? Great video 😘

This hotel is a magical building that becomes more and more tasteful with each passing hour. It has already reached its peak season, but it delights us in another way: ☺️
You are so sweet in your description of the place. This is the 2nd time I've seen this hotel and not gonna lie, I find it super creepy. I'm glad you videoed yourself for "evidence". Safe travels! ❤

I was going to say 1971. Very retro…if they replace some of the original flooring and fix the railing and add a coat of paint. They could be more busy, but the price would go up..at least it is clean…and has a neat view. Retro vending machine are interesting. I am surprised they don’t have the old udon machine with the Nixie tubes. Udon machines need lots of Maintenace. Definitely like stepping back in time. Would be interested in going if I were in the area driving..maybe next trip.

It could be kept better outside but I like the vintage vibe inside.

Long walk, and then you have to think about going back the other. Now how come they can't at least paint the railings so they look better? Good thing some vending machines worked, or you'd have no food. You are so much braver than I am, going to places I never would but I can share your adventures with you. Thank you!
Sometimes a trip in to the past reminds you of how much you really enjoyed being young

It's really badly in need of maintenance, but at least the price hasn't changed since it opened (US$10 Single). It's an amazing time capsule of the Showa era 😁 The rooms are really large and the decor takes me back to my childhood. It would be so easy to do minor repairs (no changes though !) and improve it a LOT !! It would be a FANTASTIC location for any Japanese film or TV show !

Wow, that was really just like back in time in silent province. Especially the hotel, which looks like the decoration from some kind of B-movie thriller.

I love the decor in the room and corridor. It’s cool. Retro but also modern at the same time. Thank you for showing this.
