Our upcoming stay in Hakone


We made hotel reservations tonight to go stay at a Japanese bed&breakfast next week. We're very excited about the area. It's in a historic resort town up in the mountains called Hakone. (Picture at right).

As we were making the reservation, though, we had to go through a series of screens where we "agreed" to a number of conditions by checking boxes (there were little reminders next to each box that said "you always checked the boxes to proceed"). Anyways, the "conditions" we were agreeing to sometimes seemed a little weird. We were particularly dismayed that we had to agree not to bring in the one which emits a stench (that's often Kailey) and no ability to use firearms for cooking.

In all, there were about a dozen list of conditions, but one was more interesting than the rest. Behold, the sixth list of conditions that we had to agree to:

In staying period ,when there is the following act, we refuse can refuse your staying.

(1) When making an animal and birds bring But, it excludes a guide dog, a nursing care dog.

(2) When trying to bring in the one which emits a stench.

(3) When trying to bring many articles remarkably in.

(4) When the one of the ignition-quality and the flammability tries to bring in.

(5) When using firearms for the heating and the cooking, and so on, in the guest room.

(6) When doing act with the complaint which goes out of the other guest with the loud voice, singing and the noise in night.

(7) The time ( at the lobby of the meeting ) to have tried to tow an outlander in the guest room or When made to make use equipment.

(8) When trying to leave personal belongings at the lobby and in the corridor.

(9) The time that you installed alien substance in the equipment, that it was enough and that it shouldered to process as it changes the present situation of the facilities.

(10) Besides, it is when not following note, the warning of the staff at our hotel.
