Christmas & New Year's Eve in Japan ♪♪


I cannot believe that it is already in February.


We went to Japan in December. I was too lazy to write about it soon...


Our first hotel was Yokohama Royal Park Hotel. It is situated in the Landmark Tower. Our room was on the 65th floor!!! We could see Mt Fuji from the window! We booked a room on the club floor and really appreciated their service.












Then we headed to Niigata. We had to give up skiing because it was too early to have enough snow... We just enjoyed nice onsen & delicious meals at the hotel called 'Atema Plateau Resort Belnatio'. Plus we attended GM's party. It was excellent! As a surprise, they served sushi in the middle of French course! Each dish was paired with nice champagne & rare wine!!! At the last of the party we sang with an opera singer. So much fun!























Then we came back to Tokyo.


Our first hotel in Tokyo was Hotel Okura. When we went to the bar for the nightcap, the hotel staff took us to the interesting room. It was almost hidden. We crossed over the staff passage! There were only 5 tables there and all the other people had reserved bottles. It seemed like a room for regulars. Very interesting conversations from the people around!










Our last hotel in Japan was Palace Hotel Tokyo. We quite like this hotel. This was the 3rd stay for us. The hotel staff who took us to our room even put our coats on hangers. Felt good omotenashi! We found a beautiful gift in our room. We also had nice lunch at their French restaurant called Crown.















We really enjoyed our stay in Japan! Hope to visit there again near the future!

By the way we tried JAL business class from London to Tokyo. It was surprisingly very good! I have to say it was better than BA business class.
