Thanks to our discounted travel package, all of our plans were a complete mess. We went through a group called "Trapics" with the fancy a with two dots on top so I'm guessing it still sounds like tropics even if it's spelled wrong. They first helped us out by giving us an early morning shinkansen to Hiroshima so we could get there a few minute after 10:00am. That sounds great if you have a normal check-in time, but we had to wait until 3:00pm to check in for some odd reason. The hotel staff let us leave our bags at the front desk but there was no negotiating an early trip to the room.
The hotel totally got my hopes up too because they had a diner on the 3rd floor with all you can eat steak from 5:00pm - 10:00pm, but when we tried to go there they told us the diner had been rented out by some company for a formal dinner. The next hook up for the trip came with our return tickets. Our check out time was 10:00am, negotionable at 25% the room fee but that's crazy expensive for a few hours. To make that even better, our shinkansen back left the station at 7:51pm. We ended up going back to the station, then to a mall, watching Harry Potter, eating dinner, walking around the station, and killing time in general for about nine hours. Getting home felt great and it was funny to really get that feeling when the people at the train station started speaking with an Osaka-ben dialect. I've only been here a few months, but it's really grown on me.
