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...
Oh wow. That *is* 豪華. I thought you were just exaggerating like usual. :)
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 :-)
I was at Nanzan from 99-2000!

it gets even smaller...my best friend in Japan is Sawami (she's the one that shared your site with me).
Great pics of the Gakusai...ah...natsukashii...gotta love the '70's orange accents on those buildings.
