Last night I stayed in the famous one-dollar-a-night Japanese hotel, if you haven't heard about this unique ryokan located in southern Japan. The Asahi Ryokan hotel is famous not because of the extremely cheap nightly cost for a downtown location but rather, because of why this hotel incurs such a cheap nightly cost.
