TRADITIONAL HOTEL: RYOKAN Aryokan is a traditional, Japanese-style hotel, which in many cases is owned and run by a family. They are often beautiful, old, wooden buildings with gardens and lovely views. Guest rooms are simple, with just a small table and mats. When guests arrive, they have to take their shoes off, and they are given a Japanese robe and wooden shoes to wear during their stay. Breakfast and dinner are often served in the guest's room, and at night futons are put on the floor for the guests to sleep on. A special experience in some ryokans is the natural hot water baths where guests can relax. CAPSULE HOTEL Capsule hotels offer a bed in a small capsule, with a TV and a shared bathroom. The capsule is about two metres by one metre, which is enough room to sleep in and maybe sit up. They are used in cities by business people who have missed the last train home. Some capsule hotels are for men only. Toothbrushes, razors, and towels are provided if necessary. GAIJIN HOUSE A gaijin house is a cheaper place for foreigners who stay in Japan for a month or more. These are private apartments with your own kitchen and bathroom, or cheaper apartments where the kitchen and bathroom are shared by several people. The rooms may be Japanese or Western in style. They are not usually in the most modern buildings, but they have the essential things you need in the kitchen, plus a futon, a payphone, and sometimes a TV. By living in a gaijin, a foreigner can experience Japanese everyday life. own (v) /son/ if you own sth, it is yours run (a business) (v) manage guest (n) /gest/ someone who pays to stay in a hotel provide (v) /prs'vaid/ give someone something that they might want or need essential (adj) /i'senj'1// completely necessary futon (n) /Tu; ton/ Japanese sofa bed 131 grammar present and past passives 1 These sentences from the article are in the passive form.
