The view from my room at Le Meridien Pacific Tokyo
With corporate discount this place was only about $150. It is right across the street from the Sinigawa subway station that has no transfer lines to both airports. Has a TGI Friday's restaurant for you American food fix, a cool looking cellar bar, a top floor bar that dare I say feels similar to the New York Bar at my favorite Park Hyatt.
Japanese hotels all seem to give free internet access as well, as opposed to the $14/day I'm paying here in Honolulu.



Only in Japan- these guys have the job a clearing a safe path in front of the train that would have a hard time running over a turtle. Compare that to the carts carrying fat people at American airports- best you get is "EXCUSE THE CART PLEASE"

I remember my friend Chris commenting that business lunches in Japan there would be folsk with "stinky ass bento boxes." Now I know what he means.
