The "real" Japan uses a floor fixture instead of a toilet. Even most Japanese no longer prefer squatting, I'll wager.
Whoops - I guess I assumed that the place was around in the 80s because that is the best way to describe the "decor".
My other "assertion" about the training at that hotel being completely westernised is spot on. That was the point I was making, not which country the GM is/was from. I assumed North America because there is a definite coldness and lack of graciousness compared to other Tokyo hotels.
