Hi again! Yes, I agree with you! The location of this hotel is its best asset. Very convenient for shopping and trying Thai food! :)

Hi! Nice to hear from you again! Thank you so much for your support as always! :)

Hi Sheela! Thank you for watching my video and for appreciating my work! With regards to your query, it actually depends on your itinerary in Tokyo and which tourist spots you plan to visit. Personally, I would want my hotel to be in the area where I plan to visit the most tourist spots. That way, I can maximize the 3-4 days I have in Tokyo. But if you really have to stay in the Tokyo Bay area, of course it is still ok with the efficient train and bus systems of Tokyo. Just be aware that travel time from the Tokyo Bay area to the usual Tokyo tourist spots may take about an hour or more, depending on where you want to go. In a sense, that would take a bit of time from your 3-4 days, which could translate to lesser time to see the tourist spots. In any case, I am sure it would still work out if you have planned your itinerary well. I hope I was able to answer your query and help you in my own small way. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! Enjoy your trip to Japan! :)

Hi again! Thank you so much for always supporting my channel from India! :)

Thank you so much as always for your support! :)

Hi Jin Yoon! Thank you for watching my video and for appreciating my work! With regards to your query, Japan is generally a very safe place so you can walk around without worrying. For this particular neighborhood, yes, there are drinking spots near the capsule hotel but I think it is still safe to walk even in the evening. If it would help you feel safer, you can just probably walk at the other side of the street, opposite the drinking spots. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi Faye! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, per checking of their current prices, the cost of the pork buns are as follows: 2 pieces, 420 yen 4 pieces, 840 yen 6 pieces, 1,260 yen 10 pieces, 2,100 yen I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi Cameron! Thank you for watching my video! Yes, I agree with you. The size of the twin room is just 17 sqm but it is big enough for two people to have a bit of space. For more useful travel videos, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel in case you haven't. Thanks again for watching! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi Krizm! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, technically, the room in this video is ok for 2 adults and 1 toddler in terms of size. However, please note that most hotels in Japan are quite strict when it comes to the number of registered guests. Per checking, this hotel considers a toddler as a third person already, and so the hotel might not allow the three of you to stay in a twin room that is only good for 2 persons. To be safe, I suggest looking for a hotel with a triple room that would allow 3 persons. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi Cynbi! Thank you for watching my video and for giving such positive feedback! I really appreciate it! With regards to your query, I used the third-party booking site called Agoda in booking my stay in this hotel, though you can also use other sites like booking.com, etc, and even directly through the hotel's website. The room rates will vary of course so you can just choose the most reasonable rate for you. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi! Thank you for watching my video and for appreciating my work! With regards to your feedback, I intentionally indicate that amenities are free for hotel guests because I receive several queries in my other hotel videos asking if the amenities are all free or if they need to pay for some of them. I think indicating such details in my videos right away saves time both for those types of viewers, and for me as well. I noticed that a big percentage of my viewers are first-time visitors to Japan and so I guess they are not used to having amenities available at the lobby instead of having them inside the rooms. In any case, thank you for sharing your observations! For more useful travel videos, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel in case you haven't. Thanks again! :)

Hi James! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, yes, you got it right! As soon as you enter your room, there is a receiving area and you will see 2 more doors. One door will lead you to the actual bedroom, and the other door is for the toilet. You can just leave the door to the bedroom open during your stay if you feel it would be more convenient for you to not keep on opening doors. I hope I was able to answer your query.

Hi! Thank you for always supporting my channel from India! :)

Hi again! I hope you are doing well! With regards to your query, I am not sure if you meant luggage storage inside the trains or in the airport. But as for luggage storage inside the trains, all cars of the μSKY Limited Express Trains have spaces for luggage storage. As soon as you enter your assigned car, you will immediately see it. For this particular video, you may check it at 5:48. As for luggage storage inside the Nagoya airport, you will find lockers when you exit the Customs area. Just walk towards the end of the hallway and you will find some lockers there. You will also find some lockers at the Access Area where both Terminals 1 and 2 meet. Hope the above information helps! :)

@@wheretonext1190 thanks

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! Yes, I agree with you. Muji shops are great for basic and minimalist items. And the prices are also reasonable. It is one of the shops I often visit.

Hi Earl! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, our room was a non-smoking twin room measuring 17sqm. I think this is different from the deluxe twin rooms they have which are a bit bigger. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi Chad! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, the hotel seems empty only because I took most of my videos at around 6:30am when most of the guests were probably still sleeping or still in their rooms. There were quite a number of guests during our stay though so yeah, I was just actually avoiding bumping into other guests. 😊 For more useful travel videos, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel in case you haven't. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi! Thank you for watching my video and for giving such positive feedback! I really appreciate it! With regards to your query, no, unfortunately there is no toilet inside low-cost buses. The trip from/to Narita airport to/from Tokyo station is about an hour-long so maybe, what you can just do is use the toilet just before leaving the airport, then again use the toilet as soon as you arrive at the Tokyo station. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Thank you for watching my video! :)

Hi again Nadia! Thank you so much for also watching this video! Yes, I totally agree with you! Most ticket machines in major train stations in Japan are very efficient and tourist friendly. They have language options like English, Korean and Chinese so visitors can easily buy and reload IC cards. Station staff can also assist you in case you need help. I hope you also find my other videos enjoyable and useful! Thanks again! :)

Hi Nadia! Thank you so much for watching my video and for giving such wonderful feedback! I really appreciate it! I am happy to know that you found my video helpful! With regards to your query, yes, I have also stayed in Dormy Inn Premium Kanda, just a 7-minute walk from Akihabara station and 1-minute walk from Kanda station. I plan to release the video on it in the next few weeks so I hope you can watch out for it. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos.

Hi Chris! Thank you so much for watching my video and for giving such positive feedback! I really appreciate it! With regards to your query, as soon as you come out from the Customs Area at Narita Airport, you will see the ticket counters for buses, both limousine buses and low-cost buses. All three terminals at Narita Airport will have these bus ticket counters. You can buy your tickets from the limousine bus ticket counter. Just specify where you are getting off so they can choose the right limousine bus for you. Please note though the schedule of limousine buses that stop at Hotel Sunroute Plaza. Here is the link for your easy reference. www.airport-bus-alliance.com/limousinebus/result-t.html?airport=%E6%88%90%E7%94%B0%E7%A9%BA%E6%B8%AF&area=%E6%96%B0%E5%AE%BF%E3%82%A8%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2&lang=en&frto=1 Unfortunately, you cannot buy limousine bus tickets online so I hope the above information helps. You are allowed 2 luggages per person to be stored under the bus. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! Enjoy your trip to Japan! :)

@@wheretonext1190 Thank you so much for the information. It helps a lot. The moment we watched your video, we immediately booked for the same hotel for our coming December trip. So the link that you shared can only view for the time scheduled? Cannot buy the limousine bus tickets on line? We will touch now Narita airport at 6.15 am in December, should there be any problem getting the tickets or will be sold out? (Is December a peak period) should I get a round trip tickets upon buying or to get my return bus tickets from the hotel reception. Thank you so much 🙏

Hi again Chris! I am happy to know that my video has helped you decide on your hotel in Tokyo. With regards to your questions, no, unfortunately, you cannot buy limousine bus tickets online or in advance. You can buy your tickets at the ticket counter as soon as you get out of the Customs Area. You can try purchasing round trip tickets if they will allow you, but you can also purchase your return bus tickets at the hotel reception as soon as you check-in. In my experience, buying bus tickets even in December should be ok. I hope the above information helps. :)

@@wheretonext1190 Thank you so much for the information. Another thing is I have been following your amazing videos. Will support you and hope you will share more interesting videos. 💪🏻

@@chrisng3583 Hi Chris, thank you so much for your very kind words. With regards to your query on buying tickets online, I tried finding a way. Can you try this link pls and let me know if it works? You can try purchasing in Nov for your Dec trip if ever, as I dont think you can book that long in advance. webservice.limousinebus.co.jp/web/en/ReservationTop.aspx

Hi Alex! Thank you for watching my video! Yes, I agree with you! Their rooms are really quite small, similar to the usual room sizes of business hotels in Japan, and you get to pay more simply because it is located in the middle of Kabukicho, which is arguably the center of Shinjuku's nightlife. Add to that is if you are staying during the peak season, and on a weekend, where the room prices even increase to double or even almost triple the normal price. I guess their selling point is mainly its location. Some tourists prefer to be in the center of all the happening, so they still choose hotels like this. But yeah, thank you so much for sharing your experience. This would definitely benefit those who are still deciding on whether to stay in this hotel or not. I have other hotel videos which you might want to consider for your next Japan trip, so in case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi Don! Thank you for watching my video! Yes, I totally agree with you! This hotel is my favorite hotel in Manila! For all the amenities the room offers, the quality of service, and its location being in close proximity to several malls, the price is totally a bargain! I am happy to know that you liked it too! I will have another video on this hotel, this time featuring their one-bedroom suites, so I hope you can also check that out. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi Judy Ann! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, this video was taken on 2 Dec 2022, during the peak of autumn then. I hope I was able to answer your query.

Hi! Thank you so much for always supporting my channel! I really appreciate it! :)

Thank you so much for watching my video again and for appreciating my work! Your support means a lot to me! Yes, personally, I prefer the raw sounds of Japan instead of using some background music. For some reason, they make you "feel" Japan more, hearing everything that is happening around you. Not a lot of viewers like those kinds of videos, so thank you so much again for appreciating. I hope you can visit Japan again soon! 😊

Yes it is! So many items to choose from! Thank you for watching and for always supporting my channel! I really appreciate it! :)

Hi Mishu! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, there are quite a few hotels near this APA Hotel in Kabukicho which are also just a few minutes walk to Shinjuku station and have easy access to the airport limousine buses. These hotels include Bellustar Tokyo, Hotel Groove Shinjuku and even Hotel Gracery Shinjuku. I haven't stayed in them but based on their reviews, they should be good options too.

Thank you too! I hope my other videos can help you plan your trip! :)

Hi Nur! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, no, I don't remember the hotel asking for any deposit when we checked in. We just paid for the actual room cost.

Hi Quen! Thank you for watching my video and for giving such positive feedback! I really appreciate it! With regards to your query, yes, private hotel rooms in Japan have spaces for luggages inside the rooms. You can keep them with you during the whole duration of your stay. As with the safe or deposit box, unfortunately, the rooms we stayed in did not have them. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi! Thank you so much for watching my video and for giving such wonderful feedback! And thank you too for subscribing to my channel! I really, really appreciate it! Yes, I agree with you! There are so many more places worth exploring in Tokyo with more local vibe, easy access, and cheaper hotels. Maybe I could feature hotels in those not-so-known-areas in my future videos. Thank you for giving me an idea! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi! Nice to hear from you again! And thank you for watching my videos! Yes, I totally agree with you! For this particular APA hotel, there was always a line whenever I want to use the elevator. I am just imagining what will happen if their one and only elevator needs some maintenance or repair. I just hope this never happens.

@@wheretonext1190 it happened to me last June😅 we had to go to our room and had to ask a staff member to "guide us" to our room using the stairs🥲

Oh no! I was just wishing that it wouldn't happen not realizing that it already happened, and to you of all people! So sorry to hear that. I mean I could just imagine all the effort, and with luggage at that. All part of the Japan adventure I guess. :)

@@wheretonext1190 ahah thank you,the luggages were almost empty,since we were just arrived😂it would have been a big problem at the end of the trip😂

Oh good! You were still lucky then! You really can still count your blessings! 😃

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, depending on the traffic conditions, travel time from Narita Airport to Kabukicho in Shinjuku is around 2 hours.

Hi Bodin! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, yes, the connecting rooms have their own control panel for the AC. You can adjust the temperature of each room separately.

Hi Joe! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, for this particular ryokan featured in my video, they have private outdoor and indoor onsens/heated baths which guests can use. You will see a sign by the door which indicates if the onsen is vacant or currently being used. Essentially, anyone can use them as long as they are vacant. Most guests use the public onsens located within the onsen town though, as Kinosaki Onsen is really a town known for these public baths. As with other ryokans in other areas of Japan, I have stayed in a few and depending on the ryokan or type of room you have booked, some rooms have private shower areas, and some have shared shower areas. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

@@wheretonext1190 Thank you for the detailed reply, does that mean the private baths inside the ryokan only allow one person to use it at a time? My only concern is the shared bathroom facilities, wouldn’t want to shower with a bunch of people.

Hi again Joe! For this particular Morizuya Ryokan in Kinosaki Onsen, yes, you can use their private baths, both the outdoor and indoor ones, on your own. I stayed in this ryokan quite a few years back so I am not sure if things have changed already, but from what I remember, the private baths are open from morning till evening, but they close them for a few hours each day basically for cleaning purposes. For me, the best time to use the private baths would be early morning when most of the guests are still sleeping, or mid-day when most of the guests are out sightseeing. Hope this helps. :)

Hi Anna! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your concern, yes, unfortunately, low-cost buses only allow one luggage per person to be stored under the bus. If you have 2 or more luggages, depending on your final destination, you may want to try the trains or the limousine buses. I hope I was able to address your concern. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, yes, the decorations were all edible! And they were all delicious too! :) If I remember it correctly, they were cookie-like concoctions with a bit of white chocolate. There are other variants too so the ingredients might be different from one piyorin to another. In any case, I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! I hope you are enjoying your day! :)

Hi Catherine! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, yes, the low-cost bus can be accessed through Narita Airport's Terminal 1, 2 and 3. There are also ticket counters in all terminals. The low-cost buses depart from Terminal 3, then they go to Terminal 2, then Terminal 1. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! Enjoy your day! :)

Hi Nanako! Thank you for watching my video! With regards to your query, this hotel is just a 7-min walk (500 meters) from the JR Shinjuku station. It is a very easy walk to the Kabukicho exit, passing through the famous 3D cat display. The hotel is also near Seibu-Shinjuku station, about a 3-min walk. I hope I was able to answer your query. In case you haven't, I hope you can also consider subscribing to my channel for more useful travel videos. Thanks again! Enjoy your day! :)

Hi! Thank you so much for watching my videos! Yes, I must say that Japan is really beautiful. But I am sure India is equally beautiful as well! I hope you enjoy my videos! Thanks again! :)
