Abandoned Kansai

Abandoned hotels can be a challenge as they tend to consist mostly of identical rooms – fortunately this one featured a somewhat interesting dining area and some really old vending machines…

The Old-fashioned Japanese Hotel looked like it was originally built in the 1960s and then expanded two or three times. A kinda charming maze of hallways with rooms in nearly pristine condition – nowadays I barely ever take photos inside of abandoned hotel rooms, but some of them were just too pretty to ignore! The highlights though were the dining area, where either some staff or previous visitors set up meals at several tables, and the three old, barely hanging vending machines for toiletries. I really love those old things!

Overall a nice little exploration for a nice little write-up. I hope to be able to go back to weekly articles soon, but it’s autumn in Japan now, 15 to 20 sunny degrees in a lot of areas, already winter in others, so I’m quite busy traveling these days; a real pleasure without the hordes of overseas tourists clogging up trains, hotels, and sightseeing spots – which are all still busy thanks to a rise in domestic tourism, but the atmosphere is just vastly different and much more enjoyable. Every once in a while I even throw in a more or less spontaneous exploration – more about those on the usual social media channels like *Facebook* or *Twitter*…
