The waiting staff spoke no English and other than please, thank you , I don't understand we spoke no Japanese. The waiting staff tried their best as did we and we muddled through with every one laughing. There was no bar as such but after dinner were happy to serve drinks to us in the hotel lobby.i think if our Japanese had been better it would have meant we would have enjoyed the stay more.every one tried their best with us and to...
