This is Japanese Hospitality, "Omotenashi".

[Silver] April 7, 2017 18:00

One evening, around 5 o'clock, it was a day when it rained and the flowers cooled.

When I got off the Edo bus at Chuo-ku government office, a foreign family was operating a smartphone in some trouble.

"Excuse me. When I say May I help you, I say the name of a hotel that I don't know. The map displayed on the smartphone is not clear.

Then, please lend me your mobile phone. It was because I checked with the hotel people in Japanese.

I'm not sure if I call a woman at the hotel and ask her exact address and landmarks.

"In a group of Americans named Tally, two couples and two kids are at the front entrance of the Chuo-ku government office. It's raining and I don't have an umbrella, so please come and pick me up. " When I was talking about the new president's villa in their hometown for about five minutes with Mr. Tally, a woman from the hotel picked me up with an umbrella.

 I am very pleased with the actions of a woman who appeared with an umbrella with a quick action, and repeated "This is Japanese hospitality, Omotenashi" many times.

A smile party and a woman at the hotel fit in my camera.

I am proud of the Japanese culture where such kind behavior continues. Ginzo
