We talked them when I worked morning time.
Their common point was to speak Spanish.
They were from Spain, Mexico , Sweden and New Zeland so they came from different countries but they could speak English and Spanish very well.
I really surprise and I wanted to talk them by Spanish.
They told us Spanish a little, it was fun!!
We had a good breakfast time.

Their major are design so they were interested in our building design as well. We talked a lot about reservation by e-mail before arrive in here. I had never met her, but it was the feeling that it knew. She is kind and minded for us very much. Usually it's very hard to check-in of big group but it was the check-in that was smooth on the coattails of her. Thank you very much for stayed with us and had a great time!!

We got a reservation mail in this summer from Dominic.
He stayed at the andon this year from January 1st and on this day he proposed to his girlfriend(now his wife).
So he reserved Room 11 again which is memorial room for them.
We called "happiness room" !!

This month he visited to the andon again and we gave bouquet of rose for them.
Unfortunately they could not bring bouquet, so we keep it and making dried flower now.

We recommend to stay Room 11 if you are thinking to propose(^_-)-☆
It must be success♪

We wish that they live happily ever after.

April 08

Dan and Amber stayed one month which was quit long and we were talking with them all of most everyday. I think they were really enjoying Tokyo's life. One day, Amber bought a beautiful Kimono in Asakusa. I taught her how can wear it. Dan took to record film during this time. I hope she can wear it in England. British must be surprise it how she is beautiful for it.

Another day, Dan head about Taiko (Dram) training school in Tokyo from another guest so he tried to do it together. He was so impressed it and he went to have it few days. He felt soul and energy. The last of all, he found the concert of ONDEKOZA in Tokyo which was the last Friday when he left, so he bought the ticket for it. I think it was a special occasion because The Ondekoza doesn't have a concert a lot in Japan. He was so lucky. He also was really excited it. He got a special T-shirt likes this pictures,too.

Thank you very much staying a long.
I hope you were coming back home again.

January 08

It was an accident. We have a new year's party in Asakusa where my friend is running Italian restaurant.　We were enjoining drunk on the second floor of restaurant.
I wanted to talk an owner so I went to down stair.
A couple of foreign costumer s was coming to enter this restaurant.
They looks like hesitated come in. The owner can't speak English so he usually doesn't welcome foreigners but I did translate to owner for them.
After took a little time, I asked them where are you staying ? They answered "Andon ryokan."
We were surprised and we were very happy to hearing from them.
They enjoyed eating his menu as well.
It was really a nice party for us.
