Our room actually consisted of several rooms. This alcove was in the entrance room, which was 1 tatami in size. "Tatami" is both the name of the floor mats in traditional Japanese buildings, as well as a way to describe room size. One "tatami" is either 90x180 (eastern Japan) or 95.5x191 (western Japan) centimeters. Those sizes are roughly 3x6 feet.
