5 ting du bør vite før du drar
💡The beds are noticeably firm, which is standard for Japan but can surprise Western travelers.
💡The 'washing area' in the bathroom is a separate wet room with a stool, perfect for a traditional Japanese scrub.
💡Elevators can get slow during the morning rush hour due to the sheer number of guests.
💡The curtains in some rooms are not 100% blackout, letting in early Tokyo sunrise.
💡You are literally on top of the station—great for travel, bad if you hate the energy of a transit hub.
