The article stated that 'when traveling to Japan individually, many people search for hotels on accommodation booking sites, but if they are not familiar with Japan's accommodation situation, they may fall into unexpected pitfalls.' It then introduced a post from 'Feng Chen Wan Li Lv Ren Shou Zha,' a Taiwanese Facebook account that shares travel information. The account uploaded a photo of what appeared to be a room in a Japanese business hotel and wrote, 'When planning individual travel to Japan, you may encounter situations where the hotels you want to stay at are almost fully booked, and only 'smoking rooms' are available, either much cheaper than usual or as the last remaining room. At such times, many people may easily think, "If it's this cheap, I can put up with it for one night," or "If I open the window and use deodorizing spray when I enter the room, it should be fine." However, that very thought is the gateway to Japan travel's biggest pitfall.' Furthermore, it pointed out, 'A smoking room is not simply 'a room where someone has smoked before,' but rather 'the ultimate culmination' of countless heavy smokers over decades.' Recalling their own experience, they said, 'First, your sense of smell takes a hit that feels like your soul is being gouged out. The moment you enter the room, you're not just assailed by nicotine, but a thick odor that is a mixture of ammonia, tar ingrained over many years, the musty smell of wallpaper, and the tobacco smell from the carpet soaked in for decades.' And, stating that 'no physical countermeasures work at all in smoking rooms,' they described the reason as: 'The room windows only open slightly for safety reasons, and deodorizing sprays or alcohol you bring are as powerless as 'trying to prevent an atomic bomb with insect repellent.' They added, 'Even if you turn on the air conditioner or air purifier, all that comes out is the smell of tobacco.' Furthermore, they warned, 'Just staying one night will make the smell of tobacco cling to your clothes, jackets, bags, suitcases, and even your hair and skin. Instead of saving a small amount of money, you'll suffer from headaches and sleeplessness all night, and eventually end up buying clothing deodorizers.' They cautioned, 'Never underestimate the power of seasoned smoking rooms in Japan. When you ride the train the next day, you'll become like 'a walking ashtray' and attract the gaze of those around you.' (Translation and Editing/Kitada)
