Can you imagine how many free services there are in Japanese hotels?

Did you know that there are many services that you can receive for free while traveling in Japan? Sometimes the culture and customs of the tourist's home country are different, so there are some things that are beyond imagination. For example, restaurants provide water and hot tea, but some ramen restaurants provide hair ties and paper aprons. So what about hotels and inns? What can I use for free?

In April 2018, the "Inbound Promotion Association OITA" was established as a collection of individuals and companies in Oita Prefecture that promote inbound tourism (travel by foreign visitors to Japan). Later, in July 2023, it was reorganized and renamed as the General Incorporated Association "Inbound National Promotion Council" and focused on four issues in the tourism industry: "Developing tourism human resources," "Discovering tourism materials and collecting information," and "Disseminating information and promoting." In order to solve the problem of "improving the receiving environment," we are developing various projects nationwide based on specific measures.

Did you know that there are many services that you can receive for free while staying in Japan? In some cases, the level may exceed what is common sense in the tourist's home country. It's really a loss if you don't know. On the other hand, if I knew this, I would be very impressed by this country's hospitality.

For example, restaurants provide water and hot tea, but some ramen restaurants provide hair ties and paper aprons. Hotels and inns usually provide amenities such as yukatas and hair dryers, but there are also hotels that rent out equipment for free that allows large groups to have fun events. It is even possible to rent a car for free to transport event-related items such as laptops, projectors, microphones, speakers, etc. Isn't it great that they even lend you a car for free?

The Japanese people's sense of hospitality is probably limitless. To make your stay more enjoyable, the hotel provides 2,500 comics. It feels like staying at a manga shop. Where on earth is this hotel?

It is located in Bungo-Ono City, Oita Prefecture, Kyushu. Its name is ``Hotel Masunoi.''

Bungo-Ono City is a geopark and a UNESCO ecopark, where you can enjoy many outdoor experiences while respecting the rich nature. Hotel Masunoi serves as a base in the area, making it easy to access various tourist attractions.
