Japan loves jazz

Almost every restaurant we've visited has had awesome jazz music playing in the background. All the classic standards.

The exception was the Dormy Inn in Otaru which had quiet string fugues playing in the hallways and - I kid you not - a room dedictated to the Bachs. The Bach Room was a small corner room with an ample supply of reading material, comfortable chairs, and 24/7 music by all the most famous Bachs.

If our vacation were a movie, it's had a pretty fantastic soundtrack so far.
