Crazy Grandpa's Sexual Harassment Hostel: I didn't know when I bought the plane ticket on impulse, but the last day of my trip coincided with a Japanese holiday, so I stayed for one night because the accommodation in Tokyo was sold out.From the time I checked in, the owner's grandfather suddenly hugged me and said that I was welcome and said something like kawaii, which made me uncomfortable. I thought they were greeting me in a foreign style because there were a lot of foreigners, but I felt very dirty.After hanging out all day, when I went into the hostel in the evening, there were people who were staying that day (?) who had gathered to have a drink. They asked me where I was traveling, so we sat down and talked for a while.At that time, the old man who owned the hostel, who was sitting to my right, started talking and talking in Japanese, so I was not curious and thought I should just go to my room.your legs are so beautifulcan i touch?I felt sexually embarrassed when I used the Japanese-style English pronunciation of the comment.I thought it wasn't something to laugh about, so I looked at it with a straight face and tried to handle it like it was a joke, but I hope you get your night's worth.+ In the room, there is mold on the walls, the bed is dusty, and overall it hasn't been cleaned at all. The Mongolian nomad ger I went to recently seemed to be cleaner🥲

The personality of the owner in both 1 and 2♬No frills, no separation, no discrimination.Young people in the neighborhood show up even though they have no business to do so.I would like to emulate this owner's personality even a little.

Jiji is a friendly Japanese host that welcomes guests to his cozy traditional home in central Tokyo.Every morning, he serves up a delicious breakfast for everyone to enjoy together.Staying at Jiji's place is a great choice. In the evenings, he often invites guests to chat in the kitchen over Japanese beer.It was a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely be back!
