A new luxury hotel opened in Nara, Japan. The hotel was a prison long ago. Now it has beautiful rooms. Guests pay a lot to stay here. The old building still looks like a prison. A red brick gate stands at the front. Guard towers still stand in the yard. Five long buildings have two floors.
Each building has many small rooms. These rooms were cells before. Now guests sleep in these rooms. The rooms are big and clean now. They have soft beds and nice lights. But the walls are still thick. The doors are still strong.
Some people ask questions. Is it right to sleep here? This place was bad for many people. Those people suffered here long ago. Japan is a safe country now. Old prisons tell a story about the past.
