Nice view. What is that place nestled in the trees?
Mr Kobayashi: First, I experienced a sort of overpowering feeling whenever I was in the room with foreigners, not to mention a powerful body odor coming from them. I don't know whether it was a sweat from the heat or a cold sweat, but I remember I was sweating whenever they were around. - Otaru Onsen Oral Testimony -------------------------- Keep staring, I might do a trick. -------------------------- Noriko you whore!
That's a building that once belonged to the Imperial family, some sort of summer resort. The land was bought by Seibu some years ago and they built a monstrosity of a hotel on it during the bubble. It was knocked down recently but fortunately they saw fit to leave the old building standing. It's quite impressive inside.
