Facility Behaviour
Behaviour Related to Baths
Baths are one of the two facilities that can be used by Day Visitors (those who do not stay over night at your inn). The other facility is the Souvenir Stand.

Day Visitors takes less time to bath, since Day Visitors do not get a satisfaction increase. This can sometimes make the next person waiting outside the bath wait a little longer, since Day Visitor bathes so fast they queue up to change their clothes back to their normal attire right after the previous bather. As such, the next person waiting outside has to wait for two people to change back to normal attire instead of one due to the Day Visitors bathing speed.
While Large Baths have two bathing spots, they only have one spot to change clothes.
After baths, male guests will go directly to either a Massage Chair or a Vending Machine. After that, they will return to their room, then actively seek a Massage Chair or a Vending Machine if they have not used it yet. However, if the Massage Chair or Vending Machine is really far away from his room, he can skip them and use other facilities instead. However, since they are willing to walk far distances to use these two facilities, it is ideal to place both of them near the baths to save them walking time and maximize the efficiency of your inn. They will usually substitute an unavailable Vending Machine with a Tea Room or a Cafe, though even after using a Tea Room or a Cafe, they will still try to seek for an available Vending Machine.

After baths, female guests will go directly to either a Massage Chair, a Vending Machine or a Salon. Female guests have one more actively sought out facility as compared to male guests. Try to place these facilities near the bath to save the guests walking between the facilities they seek out. Vending Machines and Massage Chairs should be spread out over the inn, since they will cut walking time as well as increase compatibility with rooms and other facilities.

Group guests will seperate to different baths according to their sex. When one sex is finished bathing, they will not directly go to a Massage Chair, a Vending Machine or a Salon, but go back to the room and wait for the other sex to return. After both sexes have returned to the room, then they will together actively seek out a Massage Chair or a Vending Machine. Group guests never use the Salon.

Because the game calculates the distance and time to reach facilities, sometimes only one sex of a Group guest will walk to the bath while the other sex waits in the room. For example, at 11:30 PM, the male of the Young Couple might walk to a near by Male Bath while the female will wait in the room, not going to the far away Female Bath.

Facility Usage
Ping Pong Tables can only be used by Group guests.

Salons can only be used by Women. None of the women in Groups can use it.

Pachinko Machines cannot be used by Group guests.

All Baths and Souvenir Stand can be patroned by Day Visitors (those who do not stay overnight at your inn) while other facilities can only be used by Stayers.

Use of the Karaoke Room can trigger a guest to go directly to a Vending Machine. It is advisable to place a Vending Machine directly next to your Karaoke Machine to maximize efficiency.

Karaoke Rooms take up more time when a guest is using it. The animation is longer than other facilities.

There’s a two step process for guests using the Souvenir Stand; the first step is selecting the product which increase their satisfaction level and the second step is walking to the cashier to pay. If the guest has finished selecting the product but are walking to the cashier as the time limit is reached, they will abandon their action and go back to their room without paying money.

Each facility has special affinity according to the different guest types. For example, from the same walking distance, Seniors will go to a Tea Room more than an Arcade. Music or TV related guests like Pianist, Pop Idol, Announcer prefer the Karaoke Room. Youth and Tech-related guests prefer the Arcade.

The Vending Machine is the best facility by far. It is one of the actively sought out facilities after using the Bath, and can sometimes be sought out after using the Karaoke Room. Along with the fact that the Vending Machine gives ‘All Up’ compability to both Tatami and Western Room, as well as other facilities such as the Arcade and the Ping Pong Table, it is recommended that you have plenty of Vending Machines for multiple usage. It also has one of the fastest usage animation to boot.
