Traveling to TOKYO -- SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE---- OR NOT? A MUST SEE

Tokyo Cheap Hotels Japan

Tokyo is not the place to be looking for a cheap hotel with some of the highest prices in Asia and the world. Too compensate for this they have come up with a very innovative idea capsule hotels a very small tube that is big enough to sleep comfortably in that has a tv temp controls radio alarm clock if you are claustrophobic you would not want to stay here but the tube is very comfortable and half the price of a regular hotel room.

the very cheap hotel that I checked out was very close to the Ikebukuro train station and it was equipped with a very nice steam sauna massage complex that also had a large tv room and other amenities like very well equipped bathrooms. It also had large storage lockers making this much more appealing and comfortable for short stays in the 1 to 3 day range,after that I am sure that it would get old fast. they have internet but it is slightly expensive Star bucks and Mcdonalds both offer free wifi if you have your laptop with you both are close buy .

The rooms are very spartan but that is the traditional minimalist way ofJapan. These rooms are very quiet. They also have a common area that has tv and the ever present in Japan vending machines for food, beer or soft drinks .

Now,  after your lovely night sleep in the CAPSULE

nothing will be better than a special kind of pedicure to get you thru your walking journey throughout 

busy JAPAN.

Some spa operators in Taiwan, like those in Japan, South Korea and other countries, have imported a special kind of toothless fish to nibble the feet of bathers in their pools, claiming the fish remove dead skin, give a pedicure and treatpsoriasis and other ailments.
In Ilan County, which is home to many hot springs including some pools used by spas for fish pedicure, a health official is openly questioning fish pedicure, which originated from Turkey and became popular in Asia a few years ago, the Taipei Times reported.
We are not recommending this, please do your homework on it.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THIS TRAIN



With the results looking nicer than most nurseries, the Japanese have taken the idea of ‘child-friendly public transport’ to the next level with these 2 beauties, both designed by Eiji Mitooka. He was the artistic force behind ‘Omoden’ (toy train) and ‘Ichigo Ec’ (strawberry train), a couple of regional trains which travel on a daily basis on the 14.3km Kishigawa line in Japan.







The Japanese are intent on making train travel a more comfortable experience for everyone, women and children especially, and the results are incredible.
Both trains contain hundreds of toys, TV screens showing cartoons, immaculately clean wooden flooring and cots for younger children. Call me cynical but I can’t imagine anything like this emerging in India unless it was an attraction at a theme park.

WINE BATH REJUVENATION???







I like my beer, but I love my wine. In Japan, I can bathe in it. At the Hakone Kowakien Yunessun Spa in Japan, red wine is poured into the water. Apparently, bathing in red wine rejuvenates the body. It must be good - supposedly even Cleopatra used to bathe in red wine. Red wine from Egypt? Hmm. Not so sure.

Wine Bath Soak Wine is rich with proanthocyandins, which are very potent antioxidants that diminish the sun's damaging effects and lessens other free radical, environmental damage. Grape's potent wound healing properties are blended with Black Current oil which promotes healthy, youthful, glowing skin because of it's rich content  of gamma linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is an emollient, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cell regulator. This skin nourishing bath is further enhanced with effective, potent Anti-agers: Alpha Lipoic antioxidants. As you're relaxing in your warm bath...your skin will be absorbing all of the therapeutic benefits and will leave your skin silky soft.
