I can’t believe this beautiful place was only $15 😱 this hotel would be over $100 a night here in the states!!! It is so nice and has many amenities! Love it 🥰 Cheers

[@experience_japan]

Oh wow!

[@kenehnsklp5530]

It is now $200 aud per night. Where did you get it for $15?

[@chriseller6870]

@@kenehnsklp5530 everything im seeing is showing it for 20-30 usd, i know aud would be a little higher not sure where you see 200 though unless you are looking up the wrong hotel

[@kembanggula4772]

@@chriseller6870 I checked in most booking websites it's either $50-70/ night. I choose random dates in March, May, August and September.

[@707ridah]

100 would get you a Motel 6, thos would be in the 200 range depending on wher you live. In Northern California this would be not 15$ that's for sure lol

[@MARTINREN1231]

About the coffee, you could make it better by : 1. wetting the coffee grinds first with hot water. stir it if possible. Cover with the strainer side on the lid at the back for a sealed brewing. 2. Pour the water in a circular motion. it doesn't need to be at a high place. this makes it so every bean is agitated evenly. (from the video, you can see some coffee grinds at the bottom. which is why its a bit pale) 3. 2 minutes 30 seconds is good IF the water was just boiling. 3-5 minutes is more optimal if you are using water that has been left for a while but still hot. (4 minutes is my favorite ) 4. when pressing the plunger, do it slowly making it fast may let some grounds in to the brewed coffee. making it slightly gritty. lastly, for people buying coffee beans, try to avoid flavored coffee beans. Those ones is usually the old coffee beans that was flavored to mask the older stale flavor of beans. Instead just buy fresher unflavored one and just add the flavor your self. It will be more flavorful that way.

Very good explanation. I agree with every step. 👍

Absolutely fantastic and beautiful. This cozy hotel really belongs in Japan, anywhere else and it will not look THIS clean. Japan is truly the best country right now, I say with no hesitation. True it has some problems but what country doesn’t?

No way? Did I miss something? Was it only $15 a night? Regrets if I'm missing something! Cheers, and many thanks! I've always wondered why here, in North America, we are all locked into either dumps or $ 390-a-night hotels where you are lucky to get a thick Keurig coffee capsule. I'm often amazed at the amenities and low prices these excellent hotels/taverns provide.

[@DonVideoGuy007]

It is quite astonishing... just $15 a night. I lived and worked in Japan 30 years ago, and that was the price for a "standard size single" hotel room in Kyoto... but this one is the same size but with many more free amenities.

[@kembanggula4772]

no, maybe when you book the hotel from japan. but I have checked in many websites with random dates and months, the cheapest is $50/ night/ person

[@straightpipediesel]

The median income in Japan is about half that of the US, and still lower than Western European countries like UK and France, so things are naturally cheaper. Also, try Vegas during the off season, like end of August, $20-30 for a full hotel room on the Strip. It's not like this video is shot during the Japanese peak season.

[@patricioaugustocarulla831]

Pouring from high position will cause more agitation on the beans, which wiil cause the flavour more intense. Higher=stronger, up to a limit, of course

French Press coffee is best at a temperature of about 198-202 F. In addition to the froth, pouring from high cools the water a bit.

Haha I'm sorry I laughed when you got the wrong room and the way you walked back and found the right room and open sesame like there's nothing happened 😂 Btw why everything in Kyoto is cheaper than other areas in Japan?

[@josephlaraia5625]

Pouring the water high is so the hot water will not break the coffee pot like the cooling bowl used for tea

[@justins3810]

Its probably poured from up high to better stirr up the coffee grounds. If poured from right on top it could have an air pocket or a clump of coffee grounds that would make it less efficient.

[@hangingontheWildside]

So ein gutes Hotel, wie im Himmel! Warum war nicht ganz voll! Schade das ich nicht in Japan wohne, sonst würde ich dahin fahren.

[@nosefnosey]

Seems like people have commented about the coffee, but I have more familiarity with tea. Not your fault, but the hotel is missing quite a few key pieces to making more authentic tea. There are two methods of brewing tea, the Western Style and the traditional Chinese way 功夫茶/工夫茶 or Gongfu tea with 普洱茶 (Pu'er tea). I'll be speaking mostly of the Western Style because traditional Chinese tea is much more difficult to do. There are 4 main types of teas leaves: Green Tea, Oolong Tea, Black Tea, and Herbal/Flavored Tea. Each tea leaf type has a specific amount that should be used per cup of tea (6-8 ounces), a specific temperature to be steeped in, and a specific time it needs to sit in water. Tea leaves can be used multiple times (this is known as multiple infusions) before the leaf loses potency, and using this method makes sure the leaves always give the best taste. Another thing to note is that tea leaves can be re-used using either Gongfu or Western Style. It depends on the leaves, and some may taste better the more times you reuse them (generally 2-3, but some can last 8 or 9 as well, it all depends on the flavor). Two of the biggest problems with the hotels setup is the lack of an infuser. Tea leaves need to be placed in an infuser and then placed inside a pot with the hot water, not boiled together with the water. Why do this? Well, when tea leaves are steeped too long you lose the flavor and it becomes more bitter. This is especially true of more fragile leaves like Green or Oolong. The second problem is you need to rinse the leaves. This is also known as "opening up" the tea leaves because tea leaves are dry and when placed in water they expand. The first steep of leaves is a "weaker" flavor and is thrown out and not fit to drink. Another reason to rinse tea leaves is to also clean it. When preparing raw fruit and vegetables for consumption, they are generally rinsed with water. The same applies to tea leaves to get rid of dust, pesticides, and bugs. For example, Earl Grey is a type of Black Tea and for 6-8 ounces it should be steeped at 95 degrees Celsius for 3-5 minutes (depending how strong you want it). First rinse the tea leaves for about 30 seconds - 1 minute and pour out all the water. Afterwards infuse the tea in water for the time and remove the tea leaves and serve. Earl Grey should taste pretty weak from my own experience. The aroma is the strength of the tea not the flavor, so I wouldn't reuse the tea more than two or three times. Another tea I saw they had was Jasmine which is one of my personal favorites. Jasmine tea is a type of Green Tea and for 6-8 ounces should be steeped at 80 degrees Celsius for 2-3 minutes. Rinse for about 15 - 30 seconds. I find Jasmine Tea can be reused about 3-5 times before it loses flavor and it's one that I drink regularly. For personal preference, I tend to find Oolong the best kind of tea, it's aromatic and also has balanced taste. Green tea is also good, but tends to have a more earthy vegetable taste. Black tea is either very strong or aromatic, never both. Herbal tea I'm not a fan of.

[@ashltron]

Pouring from a high position, as I understand it, is a skill that bar tenders used to practice for entertainment purposes. There’s really no applicable reason for it, as far as I’m aware. And you ARE Obi-Wan! Lol! After all the word Jedi derives from Samurai inspirations!😊

As for the US such places will get mistreated and trashed. There is a just a lack of respect for public use area like hotels, restaurants, parks, anything that's self-service always gets abused and trashed...so sad.

People will take advantage of anything offered for free.

I saw this hotel in Agoda. Every time I see the word "hostel" or "capsule" hotel, it means sharing bathrooms & kitchen, so I skip them due to these places lacking privacy & it is still Covid. And despite it being a very small space & having to share with other people (with the bed the only non-sharing thing), these hotels are still expensive.//It seems that hotels in Japan don't allow windows to be fully open. Strange. Probably afraid of guests jumping out due to the smallness of the rooms. 2000 yen per night still lose to hotel room in Thailand.
