Excerpt from To Nippon, the Land of the Rising Sun, by the N. Y. K: Guide Book to Japan, for the Use of Passengers by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha (Japanese Mail Steamship Company)
These do not tell of the early morning tea or coffee, flanked by toothsome buttered toast brought round to each individual passenger from five a.m., if he is so matutinal. As a matter of fact, you can get tea at all times, and from a long and bitter experience Of ship tea, I must pay a tribute to the uniform excel lence Of that dispensed on the Futami. Dainty little afternoon tea-trays, with tempting confections, are also handed round to the different groups of passengers about the decks, and everything done to anticipate your slightest wish, with a politeness truly charming. Scrupulous cleanliness pervades the whole ship, fore and aft.
