The sliding door thing is common for food / tea service in regular hotels / Onsen hot spring hotels. It's also common for their to be a scheduled visit by a concierge where they give you an instructional 'tour' of say when meal times are what time you can do X activity and when activity closes for the night. Worst thing you can do in any Japan hotel is start getting intimate soon after your arrival in the room. Expect to get a courtesy visit, sometimes from the owner of the hotel.
- billmalarky 10y agoWe stayed in a wide variety of hotels during our trip including Hōshi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C5%8Dshi_Ryokan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C5%8Dshi_Ryokan) (sorry but I have to brag about that :-) but only saw the sliding door in this one scenario. It makes sense though, kind of felt like a dumbwaiter.
