PREMIER HOTEL -CABIN PRESIDENT- TOKYO: My Not-So-Perfect Tokyo Odyssey
Day 1: Arrival - Sensory Overload & Sushi-induced Anxiety
- 14:00 - Touchdown at Narita (NRT): Okay, first impressions: concrete and a sea of polite bowing. I get the train pass. It's beautiful, but is it actually going to work? I'm already sweating. Tokyo hits you like a wall of humidity and a thousand indecipherable signs.
- 16:00 - The Great Hotel Find: The Cabin President. The name is a little… much, but hey, I'm willing to be presidential. Finding this place was a real life challenge. I walked in circles more than twice and finally had to wave down a local and plead with them with a smile.
- 17:00 – Room Reconnaissance: The room is… compact. I'm pretty sure I could touch both walls at the same time, but the capsule design is strangely comforting. Like a high-tech, slightly claustrophobic womb. The view? A slightly blurry cityscape. It's enough
- 19:00 - Sushi Panic: Right, first dinner. I ventured out, filled with both courage and the overwhelming anxiety that comes with not speaking Japanese. I found a place with a queue, which I took as a good sign. The sushi? Divine. The bill? A little less divine, if I'm honest. Turns out I was the only one in the place. I felt eyes of them all on me. I had to find out which one made the order. I couldn't even say thank you properly. A true travel fail.
Day 2: Culture Shock & Lost in Translation (Literal & Figurative)
- 08:00 - The Convenience Store Conquest: Okay, 7-Eleven is an institution. They got everything. I spent a solid fifteen minutes staring at the hot food case, convinced I was going to order something I couldn't possibly eat. Picked a weird-looking bread bun, but it was amazing!
- 10:00 - Sensory Overload: Shibuya Crossing. The scramble crossing. OMG. I've seen it a million times in photos, but standing there in the middle of this human river, it's just… electric. The sheer volume of people is mind-boggling. I made a point of just letting myself be swept along.
- 11:30 - Hachiko's Ghost: Okay, so… Hachiko. He looks sad. Very, very patient. I'm glad I saw the statue, but I think I felt more emotional about the lost dog I saw in New York
- 14:00 - Meiji Jingu Shrine: This was supposed to be a moment of zen. And it was… until the mosquitos discovered me. Turns out, even serenity can be itchy. Gorgeous, though. Really, really beautiful. The silence was almost as loud as the buzzing in my ears.
- 16:00 - Lost in Translation (Again): I tried to order a coffee at a cafe. I ended up with a beverage that tasted like burnt rubber. The barista was so polite when I tried to explain. I just had to laugh.
- 19:00 - Ramen Redemption: Found a tiny ramen place down a side street. The broth was life-changing. Thick and flavourful and I was sweating in the perfect way. The only problem? I probably slurped too loudly. I think a few people looked at me.
Day 3: Akihabara - Neon Nightmares and Robot Dreams
- 10:00 - Akihabara Assault: This is the land of flashing lights and anime. Seriously, you’re either going to love it or be completely bewildered. I'm somewhere in the middle. I spent way too much time in a game center, getting utterly destroyed by a fighting game. I'm not sure what was happening.
- 12:00 - Maid Cafe: A Very Human Experience: Everyone told me to go, so I went. The maids were so sweet, practically overflowing with sugary-sweetness. The whole things was a bit surreal. It was also very strange and made me uncomfortable, in a good way.
- 14:00 - Robot Restaurant (Cancelled): I'd heard about this. But the ticket price was obscene. I need to eat.
- 16:00 - Electronics Shopping: Tokyo tech is beautiful and complicated. I walked around drooling over cameras I couldn't afford. I might have accidentally tripped over a display. The shame…
- 18:00 - Dinner and Escape: Found a more quiet restaurant tucked away. Gyoza and beer. Heaven. Finally, a moment to breathe and reflect on the bizarre beauty of it all.
- 19:00 - Night Walk (and existential crisis): Strolled through the neon-lit streets, feeling like I was in a sci-fi movie. Thinking about life and how I'm just a small human in a huge city.
Day 4: Day Trip (Attempted) & Delayed Delays
- 07:00 - Getting Started: I actually set my alarm. I woke up early. I was ready. But it started raining and took me forever to find my rain jacket. I spent way too much time putting it on.
- 09:00 - Train to Hakone? The train. I got lost. Then someone helped me, and I got on the wrong train. Then, finally, I was on the right train, but I'd lost so much time I thought maybe I wouldn't be able to enjoy Hakone.
- 12:00 - Hakone Scenery: I'm here! The mountains are beautiful. The view of Mount Fuji is spectacular, even through the clouds which cleared halfway through my trip.
- 14:00 - Black Egg Dreams: The legendary black eggs. I ate one. Did my life get longer? Dunno. Did I enjoy it? Yes!
- 17:00 - Back to the Hotel: The rain. The delays. The trains. Back to my capsule.
- 19:00 - Burger Time: I think I just needed something familiar. Found a burger place. And it was perfect.
- 20:00 - Sleep: Needed sleep.
Day 5: Last Day - Goodbye Tokyo, You Crazy City
- 09:00 - Final Capsule Breakfast: I'm getting used to the small room. Maybe I should buy one?
- 10:00 - Packing (and regret): I need to get some souvenirs!
- 11:00 - Last Minute Souvenir Hunt: Found the perfect gift for my cousin. I think.
- 13:00 - Travel Food: Sushi. I'll miss this.
- 14:00 - Checkout and head to the airport: The cabin president. I'll miss the compact room. I had fun.
- 17:00 - Departure: As I looked at Tokyo as I left. I was just thinking "Wow!".
Final Thoughts:
Tokyo is a sensory assault, a confusing mess, and an absolutely incredible place. This trip wasn't perfect. I got lost. I ate weird things. I stumbled in the language. But, honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. It was a reminder that it's okay to be lost, to be confused, to be thoroughly human. And I'm already planning my return.

Tokyo's Presidential Suite: PREMIER HOTEL-CABIN PRESIDENT - Before You Lose Your Mind (Or Savings)
Okay, seriously, is this *actually* worth the price tag? Because my credit card is already trembling.
Alright, deep breaths. Let's be brutally honest: it's a *lot* of money. A ridiculous amount, probably. I mean, you could buy a decent car for a few nights in that suite. But... and this is a big BUT... if you're looking for an experience, a proper "treat yo'self" moment, a story to bore your friends and family with for years to come? Maybe. It depends on *what* you value. Are you the type who gets giddy over a perfectly placed orchid? Do you faint at the sight of heated toilet seats? If so, then proceed. If you’re more “hostel hopper who eats instant noodles”... probably not. I'm somewhere in the middle. I’m a sucker for a fancy bathtub, but I also judge restaurant prices way too harshly. It boils down to this: Prepare to feel a little guilty. And prepare to be utterly, ridiculously *spoiled*.
So, what's actually *in* the suite? Give me specifics! I need details! My inner control freak demands it!
Alright, alright, settle down, Sheldon. Think... *size*. Seriously, it's enormous. I got lost trying to find the bathroom the first time, and I *don't* usually have trouble with direction. They say it’s [insert actual square footage here], but honestly, it felt like it included a small Japanese garden. (Which it might have, I honestly can't remember everything in the fog of luxury). The website boasts about the "highest quality bedding." They weren't kidding. I sank into that bed like I was being consumed by a cloud made of pure, fluffy bliss. Then there's the view... apparently, you get a panoramic view of the city. In my hungover state, I just saw a shimmering, glittering blur of lights. (And regret for ordering that extra Kirin.) I *do* remember the bathtub. Oh, the bathtub… It's massive. You could probably swim laps in it. I may or may not have attempted to. They had all these fancy bath products with ridiculously exotic scents... things I didn’t even know existed. Stuff like, “Dragon’s Breath of the Amazon” or something. It was *intense*. And you have to check out the mini-bar. Let's just say, it's *very* well-stocked. My wallet is still weeping.
What kind of service can I expect? Will they judge my terrible Japanese?
The service? Flawless. Absolutely, terrifyingly, flawlessly *perfect*. They're genuinely trying to anticipate your *every* need. The staff is incredibly discreet. You’ll be wondering how they manage to know what you want before you even realize you want it. They’re like ninjas of hospitality. And no, they won't judge your terrible Japanese. Most of the staff speaks excellent English. They're used to dealing with international guests, and they're incredibly gracious. (That said, I still felt a pang of shame ordering room service, even though it was in *English*. I'm terrible at languages, okay? Leave me alone!) But seriously, the level of service is the kind where you start to feel like royalty... and then start to worry that you're not worthy.
Okay, the food. Tell me *everything* about the food! And is breakfast included? (Because I NEED breakfast.)
Ah, the food. This is where things get… complicated. Breakfast *is* usually included, but honestly, after the mini-bar raid of the evening before, I’m not sure I ever *saw* it. Or maybe the memory is lost in a sea of caviar-flavored regret. (I’m being dramatic, but seriously, the mini-bar...) Room service? Yes, available. Extensive menu of… well, pretty much anything you could possibly desire. Michelin-star-quality dishes, probably. I mostly remember a burger I ordered at 3 AM. It was… magnificent. And expensive. But magnificent. They also have high-end restaurants within the hotel. I *intended* to try them all. I really did. But the lure of that enormous bathtub and the ridiculously comfortable bed… well, let's just say I did a lot of lounging. The food is amazing, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Just... prepare your wallet.
Are there any downsides? Because surely, there must be *something* wrong with this picture...
Okay, honesty time. Yes, there are downsides. Aside from the price, which is the elephant in the ridiculously opulent room... there's the potential for overwhelming luxury. And I'm not kidding. It can be… a *lot*. You might feel a bit out of place. (I totally did!). The sheer opulence can be intimidating. Also, the entire experience is a time sink. You'll probably spend more time in your room than exploring Tokyo. Which feels wrong. Like, shouldn’t I be out conquering karaoke bars? Exploring hidden temples? But that dang bathtub keeps calling to you. And the temptation to stay in the fluffy robe all day... it's strong. So, basically, the only *real* downsides are price and potential for a complete lack of productivity. Oh, and the potential for serious mini-bar-related debt.
What are the main amenities?
Okay, prepare for the "it's the best of everything." Seriously. Expect a massive living area, a separate bedroom (because, duh), a gigantic bathroom (yes, the bathtub again), high-speed internet (important!), state-of-the-art entertainment system. But the kicker? That *view*. And the service. It’s more than just basic amenities; it's an experience. Did I mention the heated toilet seats? They're like a warm hug for your bum. And the robes, the slippers… top-tier comfy. And remember, they often include access to club lounges and complimentary drinks. Think of it not as room, but a small, temporarily owned kingdom that makes you feel like royalty.
Can I get a discount? Please? I'm begging!
Look, I feel you. I’m no trust fund kid. Discounts? Probably not directly on the Presidential Suite. It's the top-tier, the crown jewel, the "we don't discount this" level of luxury. BUT, keep an eye out for seasonal offers or package deals. Sometimes, booking in advance (way in advance) can result in marginal savings. Check hotel websites, travel aggregators, and sign up for their email newsletters. You can get lucky. Maybe. (Don’t hold your breath.) Consider, if it helps, booking off-season. Also, if you have elite status with a hotel loyalty program, that might help, but those programs are not always helpfulHotel Search Site
