The tofu salad is only 500Y, good value... I thought it was vegetarian but then found out it was covered with little fish.
Less than US$5, with a window seat of the Hakodate night... what a deal!
The toilet is automatic. After doing the biggie, a stream of water would help you clean. It has two options: front (female only), and back, it also comes with three different strength. The automatic toilet in toyo-ko inn is made by national.
Most business hotel in Japan has the shower and washing basin sharing the same pipe. This is much more efficient than other design.
