The ten or so rooms in this Tokyo apartment building are small, old and basic. So basic in fact that a room is all you get, along with a communal toilet and sink, meaning daily ablutions require a trip to the local bathhouse or public shower.
But being a bit on the dingy side doesn’t mean the building can’t be unusually decorated. Or indeed be devoid of a talking point other than the toilet predicament.

Perhaps soon a literal talking point if they robotise deer receptionists besides kimono clad mannequins, but perhaps not yet in that building!
Lee says
Nah, not just yet. Eliminating morning queues for a poo are presumably much more of a priority!
Al says
Is it the guard of THE toilet?!
Lee says
No, opposite end of the corridor. So what’s down those dark stars is anybodies guess…
Squidpuppy says
It’s like the beginning of a video game, or a nightmare. Queue creepy soundtrack. He wants you to go down the stairs…
Lee says
Definitely. Tis a bit on the odd side, isn’t it? Looked in as I was walking past, and seeing the deer head peering out from the end of the corridor was quite an unexpected sight. And needless to say I did not venture down the stairs…
Coli says
Murakami Haruki all over the place :). If this was a sheep it would be perfect. What were the rates like there?
Lee says
Hadn’t even though of that, but yes, it is, isn’t it? And a sheep’s head really would have been something else!
No idea. Didn’t see any prices I’m afraid, but going off others I’ve seen, I’d guess somewhere around the 25,000-30,000 yen mark. Maybe a tad higher.
john says
and here was me thinking that you stayed there and payed up. :O)
Lee says
No, happy to say I’m doing a little bit better. There again, my building doesn’t have a deer head. So maybe I’m not!
Coli says
Lee how’d you come by this place? Very fascinating
Lee says
Unusual, isn’t it? Was just out on a walk, glanced through the open entrance, and saw the deer head peering out. The last thing I expected to see to be honest.
