I also toss some trash in Shinkansen trash bins. Usually bento leftovers and a bit of trash from my day bag.

Does anyone else separate their plastics, paper, and trash at business hotels? Some business hotels have the smallest trash bins. Those which have front staff which speak multiple languages should also upgrade their trash can sizes for all the trash a simple depato purchase generates.

Personally, I'd also like more ryokans to offer samue/jinbei in addition to yukata, especially in areas frequented by foreign tourists. Obi can be a bit tricky to tie and I recently saw one Japanese man at dinner who wore his yukata top wide open to mid-chest plus was a man spreader. Sloppy, accidentally dead, or mistaking toilet slippers is one thing, what should not be on display during dinner is another.

Do Prince hotels/resorts charge for children? Offhand, they're the Japanese chain I'd think of as offering rooms sized for families vs budget minded business hotels which usually only fit two. A kids stay/eat free campaign would probably help bring in foreign family travel as many Prince resorts are destination locations with free shuttles to public transit. I've also observed families spending a lot more in retail than I (or a couple) do.
