2019 Japan/Korea - Tokyo 1
Last year in October we took a trip to Asia. Originally we were planning on going to Hong Kong and Seoul, but due to the protests that were happening in HK at that time we ended up making a last minute change to Tokyo since it was still relatively close to Seoul and we didn’t need any excuses go to back to Japan. Since I already saw a lot of the typical tourist locations from the previous trip and I wouldn’t be able to make it to one of T-Site’s car meets, I wanted to go to someplace really special, so we spent one of our days outside of Tokyo but the rest of the time in Japan was in the city.
We arrived late at night and so we went straight to the hotel, walked around a little bit to find some dinner, and went to bed. Last time we were here we went for an AirBnB but earlier in the year Japan changed some of the regulations that allowed for hosted places. That resulted in a decrease in options and an increase in pricing to the point that the hotel options ended up being more attractive on both fronts. Our hotel ended up being a little further from central Tokyo than we liked but the room itself was VERY roomy, had a funky Scandinavian-like style, and had a great view.
