Travelling is a series of puzzles and tasks that one must complete in order to gain the next level, or go to the next activity. Laundry being one of the tasks to complete in order to not smell in polite society. We found a 24hr laundry mat 30 min walk from our hotel. We struggled to decipher the system. A kind Japanese man helped us figure out what machine to use (based on weight of load and priced accordingly). The machines are wash and dry and include detergent within. We were able to clean all our clothes for 900 yen, plus 200 of extra drying ($7.65). It was done in less than an hour and we walked to a cafe for coffee and egg salad sandwiches while we waited. The chore was easy and painless.
Japanese efficiency at its best.
