Japan - PJs

One of the things I found most surprising about Japan was that every hotel provides pyjamas. The PJs are usually laid out neatly on top of the bed, rather than tucked away in a wardrobe like robes and slippers often are in Western hotels.


According to Google, this is done for a mix of cultural, practical and hospitality reasons. You can look that up for yourselves.


We found that pyjamas were provided in both traditional Japanese hotels and Western-style chains.


In every case, they were incredibly comfortable. As I’m somewhere between small and average in size, it wasn’t surprising that they fitted - although I didn’t notice any alternative sizes being offered. They also seemed to be unisex.


At first, I did think it was slightly odd to sleep in pyjamas that someone else had worn before - even if they had been freshly laundered. But when you think about it, it’s no different from sleeping in hotel sheets and pillowcases.


Anyway — here I am modelling/rocking four different sets of hotel pyjamas from four different hotel stays.
