Chapter 439: Meguro Yasu Garden (1080 votes plus change)
"You don't have to squeeze me in a different way, and I'm not angry. www.biquge.info This hotel is famous in Japan, and many newlyweds from around Tokyo come here for wedding receptions and wedding photos. Actually, I haven't lived here before, and the price is quite expensive for international students, but now that I'm the general manager, of course I want to enjoy it. Qi Rui sat in the co-pilot and listened to Hong Tao's yin and yang weird explanation in the back row, and finally couldn't help but take a stubble. She was also generous and did not deny the facts.
"It doesn't matter if it's expensive, as long as you can earn it back. If you can't win this project, Lao Qu and I will go back to China by ourselves, and you can slowly empty the ticket at Narita Airport to earn money for the ticket. "Hong Tao's mouth is only suitable for people who want face, the more you want face, the more advantage he will have, but if you don't have face, his mouth will lose its power.
Hotel Meguro Masueen is located in a small valley, which cannot be called a valley, and the generation west of Tokyo is all hills and undulating. Behind the hotel is a small hill, about the same height as Jingshan, the car came down a big downhill along the side of the mountain, and then a combination of Japan and the West, the ancient and modern buildings suddenly appeared in front of you.
The main building of the hotel is divided into two parts, and in front of it is a large courtyard, so you don't need to look closely, you only need to glance at it to see the strong smell of Japanese architecture. It's the kind of room that is low, with huge eaves and an exaggerated upturn.
Behind it is a modern building with more than ten floors, and the light blue glass curtain wall just reflects the scenery in the courtyard. I don't know if it was designed this way on purpose, or if it was built like this by mistake.
Because it is built on the mountain, a small stream flows down from the side of the hotel, and the waterfall does not seem to be enough, but the visual effect is very good, and it is a bit of a fairyland-like feeling when matched with the large bamboo forest on the hillside.
I have to say that the Japanese are really good at fiddling with details, and this can be felt everywhere in Japan. They divide the industry very carefully, it is an industry in other countries, and in Japan, it is often derived from several industries, and everything is pursued to the extreme.
I don't know how other people feel, but Hong Tao thinks that starting a business in Japan is the hardest, because basically everyone does what you think of, and what you don't think of is also being done, unless you can think of everyone in front of you.
Nowhere is this cultural practice more architecturally extreme, and almost every part of this huge courtyard is put to good use, without wasting a single penny. If you just find a corner, you can use the stream to create a patchwork mountain scene, and there is a small bridge below, with carefully cultivated green trees and bamboo forests, and the winding path will have a sense of seclusion.
But you have to go in to feel it, don't look far away, go far and see, damn it! It's the size of a toilet. How to put it, it's like a very delicately trimmed bonsai, which looks beautiful on the writing desk, but don't take it out, it will be nothing when you put it in the flower bed.
"Damn! This is ukiyo-e, right?" The courtyard is very beautiful, and after entering the lobby, the style changes, Hong Tao feels that there is a golden light in front of him, and the lobby here is not open to the point, and you need to walk through a semicircular corridor. And one of the walls of the corridor is covered with huge murals, one next to the other, in a very rich tone. Walking in front of them is as if you are looking at a grand wedding banquet through a window, and the paintings are all about ancient Japanese wedding scenes.
"Even if you know the goods, I find that you are becoming more and more tasteful, is it the edification you have received with me?" Qi Rui was a little surprised that Hong Tao still understood ukiyo-e, in fact, it was not only this accident, Hong Tao's performance at the airport, on the plane, and on the express train surprised her, very surprised.
It is said that a person who has never been abroad and does not usually like to read books in this area should not behave so blandly. But Hong Tao is so indifferent to everything that happens on the road, and he can do a lot of things right at will. Even if he doesn't say it, the place he sees is 100% the place he should go next. Not at all like a first-time person going abroad, more like a business person who often runs around at home and abroad.
"That's a must, close to Zhu Zhechi, you are my pig. When Hong Tao saw Qi Rui's eyes, he immediately realized that he had said too much, which made this very clever and eccentric girl suspicious, and quickly diverted the topic.
"Pig is pig, leave the luggage to him, he will help us to the room, and my pig will take you to see more strange things." Qi Rui could hear that Hong Tao was scolding, but he was not angry, mainly because he was used to it.
At this time, it was just two o'clock in the afternoon, and the hotel entry procedures would not start until three o'clock, she said a few words to a staff member, and then put the luggage next to the front desk, pulling Hong Tao and pushing Qu Xiaochuan to the direction of the stairs.
"This hotel is dark enough, isn't it just a few old houses, and you still charge tickets?" The painting style on the third floor has changed all of a sudden, from magnificent to antique, although the wooden floor is very well maintained, but it has been around for a long time.
On the opposite side is a long wooden staircase, which is a bit of a stretch of sight. Hong Tao guessed that it should be some original monument here, and this hotel may have developed on the monument, and then used the monument as a gimmick to attract business. This type of business is not uncommon, but it is rare that you have to pay 1,000 yen per person to enter this staircase.
"Do they have athlete's foot? After spending a thousand yuan, can't they give a pair of slippers?" Hong Tao was not very happy to just pay the money, and he had to take off his shoes to enter after paying the money. And after taking off his shoes, he didn't have slippers, even if it was a one-time one, which made him a little bit of a slight cleanliness very responsive, and he couldn't help but communicate with the kimono woman who sold the ticket in English.
"Oh, why are you talking so much nonsense, their custom is to take off their shoes indoors, and slippers are also considered shoes, and they have to be taken off!" Qi Rui couldn't bear Hong Tao's broken mouth, and he just quarreled with his companions, why did he still talk nonsense with the hotel staff.
"That's right, slippers, of course you have to take them off. I think it makes sense that the slippers were invented by the Japanese? They have to put them on and take them off hundreds of times a day, right? In order to reduce trouble, they invented slippers, and I think this logic makes perfect sense. ”
was pulled into the staircase corridor by Qi Rui, Hong Tao still didn't give up, and analyzed the reason for the slippers. In fact, this is Qi Rui's habit that he doesn't know much about Hong Tao, if it is Zhang Yuanyuan or Jin Yue, he will immediately understand what Hong Tao means. He's a little annoyed, he doesn't like to see any monuments, and it's better to sit in the café and look at the big girls in the past.
"Shut up! Don't speak from now on, otherwise I'll leave you alone, and if you have the ability, you can find a translator yourself!" Qi Rui was more annoyed than Hong Tao, and covered Hong Tao's mouth, and his ears were finally quiet.
Half an hour later, Hong Tao felt that a thousand yen was not a vain flower, and this monument was not without any interest. In addition, there is Qi Rui explaining on the side, it is not bad to take a walk, and the layout inside is really beautiful.
According to Qi Rui, this is one of the few remaining pure wooden buildings in Japan, there used to be eight, and now there is only one left. In Japan, it also has another name, Showa Ryugu Castle, because it was built in the tenth year of the Showa era.
Qi Rui said that the reason why this place is famous is also because it is the prototype of the oil house in the comic "Spirited Away", but unfortunately Hong Tao has never read Japanese comics, has never read a single one, and does not plan to read it in the future, so there is a lack of resonance, and then he was despised by Qi Rui.
What is the oil house Hong Tao doesn't care too much, this visit is not without gain, at least I know the Japanese taboo about nine. Qi Rui explained that the word nine is very close to bitter in Japanese pronunciation, so just like some Chinese mind the word four, some Japanese people don't like nine very much.
This is not Hong Tao's blind guess, but a fact. Chinese hate four, so many residential buildings and office buildings do not have four floors. Japan hates nine, so there are a total of ninety-nine steps in this staircase, but it is called a hundred steps.
There are also seven ancient Japanese rooms of different styles on both sides of the corridor, each with a name, such as ten acres of fields or something, and Hong Tao does not remember. They are decorated with famous Japanese paintings, famous handicrafts, ukiyo-e, and people with special colored lanterns, and it is said that they are all the works of celebrities.
