Our Experience
Our experiences were as we expected from Tokyo, the hotel had a good atmosphere also it was
big, the room was very comfortable the view was incredible because we could see all the city.
The food was delicious and the restaurants were very awesome because they had a theme of the
old Tokyo when the samurais still existed.
The transport was very clean and fast also the people has very good manners, they respect the
rules, and even the train station was very clean!
