Artist's commentary
Hang in There, Kogasa-san 3058
If you're wondering how I could have missed such a gaudy sign, it's because I circled around from the opposite side. :-)
The name of the hotel were I was staying is on here too, by the way, but it's way too small, so you couldn't find it right away. I noticed the letters for it in their Facebook address on a guide posted on another wall.
It's more of a hostel than a hotel.
It would have been nice if we were able to converse this fluently, but in fact, I was stretched to my limit just catching the other person's English.
