Sumida Aquarium | Tokyo Sky tree

Sumida Aquarium | Tokyo Sky tree

I went to this with my sister. We were initially planning to skate because it was winter but decided to cancelled last minute because we didn't like the skating rink. It was crowded with little kids! And it's so small so yeah we thought we'd do the sky tree without the skate bundle but yeah that was also very crowded so in the middle of falling in line, we decided to escape! We found this place accidentally I would say. 

SELF


The place is not crowded at all so yeah a little hidden place around the building so maybe not a lot of people know about the place?





Even though the place is small, it didn't disappoint. 


I feel like Jelly Fish area is something that I look forward to when visiting aquariums. 











I remember spending a lot of time just to take a good picture of this creature. 









That is all I can share about this now. I don't know if I liked it very much. I guess I did?

Your Hotel Unnie | Senkei Plaza, Hakone

Your Hotel Unnie | Senkei Plaza, Hakone

 


This is the place we stayed at in Hakone. I would say that this is a budget friendly option. But I'm still here to tell you what to expect. 


Check in time is 3 pm like some other places. 



The beds are comfortable enough. They provide you with yukatas that you can use to sleep or to go to the onsens. 



They have complimentary teas. 


One thing I didn't like is that the bidet, although present is not working. The bathroom door is also very clanky that you can't probably do your business in peace. 


Name: Senkei Plaza
Place: Hakone
Nearest Station: Hakone-Yumoto Station
When: March 7 - March 8 2024 
Estimate Price: 11 ,156 YEN ~ 
Pros: There is a decent indoor bath and outdoor bath. The room is clean.
Cons: There is only one outdoor bath and is shared by man and woman depending on the time. There is no elevator! We had to go up the stairs every time.

Your Hotel Unnie | Hilton Narita

Your Hotel Unnie | Hilton Narita



Hilton Narita at night. 


I went here because my sister flew to Japan and this time, it's at Narita so this is one of the hotels they are affiliated to I guess. 



There is a shuttle bus from the airport that you can take for free.

Elevator


I'm not very knowledgable with hotels yet but I don't like the odd shape of Hilton Narita. The odd shape isn't much of the problem but it's kind of narrow. 



Nothing much for the hotel free stuff. Just the normal ones you'd get at other places. 


The place is clean thankfully. 

Room is small but comfy :) I'm sure they have bigger rooms but yeah it feels kind of condensed.



Name: Hilton Narita
Place: Narita
Nearest Station: Narita Airport Terminal
When: October 3 2023 - October 4 2023
Estimate Price: 12,113 YEN ~ 
Pros: The rooms are nice enough.

Your Hotel Unnie | Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba

Your Hotel Unnie | Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba
Myself and sis 

My sister is an airline crew and on her flight to Japan, she got to stay at Grand Nikko Tokyo in Odaiba. 


This is what the hotel looks like at night


The lobby. I honestly don't understand the center piece but it's nice enough.

The view is to die for! This is actually my second time here and I guess I would never get tired of it because of this view alone. 


Morning view


I also love their bath stuff! This is fancy. 



The bath tub. Big enough! Although I haven't used this on my two trips here. 



Room here starts at 13.6K yen on Agoda and it goes up to 26K depending on how soon you want the room or what day of the week it is. The room is really clean and nice. It looks very new as it is said on their website that is renovated.

I don't know why I have so many elevator pictures but it is what it is. 


Also, instead of the Yukata, they provide you with pajamas. Interesting. 



Name: Grand Nikko Tokyo 
Place: Odaiba
Nearest Station: Daiba Station/Tokyo Teleport Station Station
When: September 16-September 17 2023
Price: 13.6 YEN ~ 
Pros: What I like about this hotel is that it is near everything! There is a station right outside the hotel.
Cons: The outdoor pool is not free! 

I don't actually know if the indoor pool is free for every guest but my sister and I was able to enjoy it for free. I don't know if they will charge the airline or what but yeah. The pool is very nice! There is a three lap pool, hot bath, jet bath and mist sauna. Inside the locker/dressing room, there is a hot and cold  bath and your traditional wood sauna which is probably my favorite part!
