Because most of our members' homes are typical Japanese size, we are not able to really offer visiting Mensans "SIGHT" in the way of accomodations. But we can offer information for your stay. Below, you will be roughing it. You'll have to ask if the room has a phone, and what time the heat comes on. DISCOUNT ACCOMODATIONS:
