SHIKIMIKIE

  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. 

This is the entrance of the vacation house. The place is called Susukinohara Ichinoyu in Hakone.  Right by the reception area, you can find this place where you can take disposable items like hairbrush, toothbrush, and the like. You can also get your own Yukata to use.  The entrance The place is near a bus stop and is near a convenience store so you don't have to worry if you want late night snacking.  There is a private onsen with spectacular view.  The futon on the tatami is surprisingly comfortable. It is also heated so don't you worry. I guess it will also be cooled down during the summer.  Complimentary teas and tangerines from a local farmer. I loved the scallop the most. We included dinner and breakfast in our booking and it was so worth it. You can choose time to come to the hall.  Pictures above are that of dinner. Those below is breakfast. Same as dinner, you can choose what time works for you. The breakfast is also very filling.  The vacatio...

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.  Hilton Narita Halloween Display 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.  Cons: The indoor pool is not very impressive.

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.  sunset 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.  Hallway  Elevator Elevator Elevator 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 ...
