Good room day

Today, and January 18th annually, is Good Room Day いい部屋の日. When I heard about "ii heya day" I instantly thought of "iiheyanet", the heavily promoted rental property search platform, so it was no suprise that it turns out that the company that own that website started and registered this anniversary!

The date comes from a playful number pun: 1‑1‑8 can be read as ii heya—“a good room.” Even the character へ is included because, when written vertically, it resembles the number 1. It is a day to think about living spaces; how to make them comfortable and to consider things like layout, lighting and other elements that make a room "good" or "nice".

The photo in this post is of a cafe in Kawagoe, because when I put the search words "good room" into my personal collection of photos on Google photos, it was one of the first photos that the results served! I do like the use of space and light in this room. What do you consider a "good room"?
