We went to Japan for 11 days. I will not lie to you and tell you that I was not nervous. However, been with kimkim made this so easy. We had amazing guides who all spoke English justice fluently as I do. We had drivers Medicine train stations and airports. They would not leave until they were ensured that we were checked into the hotel. I have not had a more seamless vacation in the United States and to have this kind of experience in a foreign country was nothing more than a miracle. I cannot tell you how skeptical I was about this, but our tour guide, Hal, in Tokyo had spent 12 years in Houston. Our tour guide in Kyoto, Khang, was actually in the United States Navy and grew up in California. Our tour guide in Osaka had spent eight years in United States. Not only do they speak the language, but they also helped us negotiate prices on things we were trying to buy. For example, my wife wanted to buy a fairly pricey purse at one of the resale shops in our tour guide, not only recognized that we were being up charged than negotiated down the price. I wish that I had done this years ago. If this is what traveling the world was like, then I have absolutely no reservation reservations.
Hotel Reviews
This is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at
Finally, a place in Japan that has a laundromat. this is on the Tokyo Disneyland grounds so you don’t need to buy the train ticket for two days if you’re going to Disneysea. . Just buy the train ticket for the Disneysea day
Wow! This hotel is stunning. I typically stay at the Omni or the Ritz Carlton in the United States. The staff, cleanliness, comfort of the rooms with a fan, the mini bar, and the in-house restaurants are amazing. Furthermore, I had no trouble as an English speaker only in the hotel. Their breakfast is awesome and I highly recommend you buy it. My only regret is that we didn’t stay here longer
My wife actually believed this is the best hotel we stayed in during our 12 day trip to Japan. However, I felt it was somewhat dated.. however, we always get two rooms for our family, one for our kids and one for us. They actually had a giant suite that allow us to have one key card access to main hallway that then it had both rooms attached. I’ve never seen that before. The staff was incredibly kind. The breakfast was amazing. I had no problems with being an English only speaker. I would say here again without any reservation. The only thing I would state is that it’s relatively far away from the train station. If you were hellbent on using public transportation, it’s gonna take a little while, but it’s only 30 minutes with an Uber from the bullet train..
