more guests stayed at our nippori gardens last week. maiko came over to tokyo because of her interest in yoga and when I returned yesterday evening there was a yoga class going on in our living room: maiko was instructing the other guests. I enjoyed the view while eating my lunchbox. Since more reservations came in we will be busy coming week preparing the two last floors of the building .
Yesterday we put new flooring in the living room / common room of our Nippori guesthouse . Now it has a warmer and cozy feeling. Of course soon pics will be available to show you guys the work we did. The first guests are enjoying the silence of a nearly empty building. you think it is sad or scary ? well…we asked them and they said the opposite ! anyway it will change soon as reservations are coming in every day. Tsubaki gardens in Kamata is already half full two months after the opening, and seems to be popular among people who wanna stay a bit longer than the regular tourist. so the atmosphere became a bit dormitory-like, thus we have some long term people living here now who always welcome the backpackers.
It took a bit longer than planned for preparing and organizing but …finally from today the first guests will stay at our Nippori guesthouse ! !
