A Photo-shooting in Nara Hotel

Nara Hotel has such a great ambiente and interior, that it is obviously used also for photo-shootings and while taking a guided tour through the hotel we met this professional photo-model posing also for us during a break from her photo-shooting. She was patiently posing and smiling for several minutes for our group of some 200 tourists from Germany and Austria.

Always an arcade nearby, even in Nara. :)
They are often cute, colourful buildings full of people of all-ages. It is NECESSARY to every western tourist to visit at least 1 of these. Have some 100 JPY coins available.. there are much cute toys to be won! :-)

As being a daytrip-attraction from Tokyo, in the evenings it gets very quiet in Nara. If you can, stay as long as you can and walk around when the masses have left. Then the beauty of peaceful Nara will truely come to it's right and your waiting will be rewarded.

Japanese language is one of the most complicated! Three types of characters. Anyway, here's some useful phrases to keep in mind in case you need help.

IN AN EMERGENCY:Help! Tas'kete!
Stop! Tomete!
Fire! Kaji!
Call the police Keisatsu o yonde kudasai!

Useful Phrases:

Yes Hai
No Ie
Thank you Arigato gozaimasu
Please Dozo
Sorry Sumimasen
Excuse Me Sumimasen
I don't understand Wakarimasen
Do you speak English? Eigo o hanashimasuka?
How are you? Ogenki desu ka ?
Good morning Ohayo gozaimasu
Good afternoon Konnichiwa
Good evening Konbanwa
Good night Oyasumi nasai
Good bye Sayonara
