無駄に豪華 Amazing Toilet

Meguro (in Tokyo's) Gajoen (雅叙園) is an ultra fancy building that is often used to host weddings and other events. I was there for a friends wedding,

It's the kinda place with private artificial waterfalls (with Carp of course)... Indoor greenery... And like, fancy smancy elevators.

How nice is the place?

The coffee costs about $8 US. It's just regular coffee... Granted, you get free refills...

In Japanese we call this. 「無駄に豪華」 MUDANI GOUKA.

I remember going there a while ago just to gawk at the inside. I would never want to get married in such a 結婚工場。

So where's the amazing toilet? Or are you just teasing?

Hey mdchachi, look at the last picture, that -is- the toilet! Those white stalls in the background! There's a freakin bridge man... a bridge...

Hi Harvey,

A friend of mine sent your site to me. Very cool! I see you were CJS at Nanzan. What year?

I was at Nanzan from 1998-99, but have since returned to the states.

Just wanted to say hi, and thank you for a great site. I'll probably use it when adivising students traveling to Tokyo.

ja ne,

Mandy :-)
