> The guesthouse where Mr. Mangione stayed is a small building converted from the village’s post office into a bare-bones lodge with four rooms. When Mr. Mangione booked online, there was only a room with a bunk bed left, known as the Hunter room, which overlooks cedar-capped mountains and a roaring river, said Juntaro Mihara, the inn’s owner. He spent six days at the guesthouse.

> Unlike other guests, Mr. Mihara said, Mr. Mangione left his room completely spotless and took out his own trash.

> “If asked who would be the most impressive and tidiest guest ever in my business record, I’ll answer it’s him,” Mr. Mihara said.
