| Introducing Orange Inn |
| One. Reasons why I decide to open this accommodation |
Its start is a back-packing trave in my University days. At that time I
had a little moeny, but my pasion of traveling the world was very strong.
So, I traveled Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan for 40 days.
In that travel, I could meet various people, and experience many kinds
of different culture. After that, back-packing has become one of the most
important hobbies for me, and after starting a full-time job, I carry my
back-pack and go foreign countries at least once a year.
When I talk with new friends in a domitory, many of them avoids visiting
Japan. They are very interested in Japanese culture, foods, people, and
so on and would like to visit. However, they have the strong image "Japan
is VERY VERY VERY expensive country"
Recently I have felt that I would like the young people in all over the
world to make a wonderful experience, as I did, in Japan. Also, thanks
to long lasting deflation and devaluation of YEN, food price in Japan has
become as cheap as other developed countries.
So, I decide to quit my full-time job and open this domitory. I hope that
the young people all over the world could have a very precious experience
trough traveling in Japan. Also, it could be a clue to know and like, my
home country, Japan.
If you have a chance to travel Japan, why not to come to Orange Inn.

This domitory is renovated from former accommodation for Japanese traditional
sweets shop's employees. So, there are some strange points in exterior,
and the most strange point is three doors on the first floor.
The door on the left was the original, but after discussing with local
government about this domitory's structure,new door is established for
the entrance of it.
In additon to that, development of another door is demanded by local government
for private space. As a result, such a strange exteror with three doors
has developed. However, this is a result of my maximum efforts for you
to stay as cheaply as possible.
