Room with an Anti-View: Beautiful Chunky Iron in Kagoshima

Where: Tenmonkan, Kagoshima, Japan

You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.

We've been told that the Japanese culture specializes in finding the beauty in any situation, no matter how small that beauty might be. We're interested in knowing exactly where the beauty is in this view from the New Nishino Hotel in Kagoshima, south-west Japan.

The city of Kagoshima isn't on every tourist's list, but it should be since some call it "the Naples of the Eastern World". Apparently the New Nishino is actually not a bad place to base yourself while exploring Kagoshima's aquarium, drinking its sweet potato alcohol and ferrying out to the active volcano (we love a steaming volcano). The photographer himself admits that this hotel "lacks a view" but promises that "its location makes up for it".
