we arrived in Japan just a week before the sakura festival. The hotel was spruced up with anything and everything about cherryblossoms. The Prince chain of hotels pride itself of its gardens, which is so huge, it would be a shame to not explore. It would already provide you a glimpse of Japan. Since its has a small temple, a... more

As part of our tour, the agent suggested the New Takanawa for its close position to Shinagawa train (good for subways, local trains and Shinkansen - not to mention convenience stores, coffee shops and multiple food outlets and delis).

There is a shuttle bus between the hotel and the station and Shinagawa Prince if you time your arrival well. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful and took our luggage and escorted us... more

HOTEL LOCATION: - Close to Shinagawa Station for easy travels - Close to many American (Outback Steakhouse & TGIF) and Japanese restaurants as well as shopping centers (at the Wing Takanawa located... more
