  1. Hello there, thank you for nice vlog.👍 Also that you presented the area, Azabudai Hills. Interesting compare this area with older Roppongi Hills.

    Big bonus for you also presenting the costs of your stay.

    Many vloggers dont bother to do that! Sometimes wonder, why not. For many that info is interesting, when evaluating the value for money factor.

    Your famous collegue, or competitor, LuxuryTravel Expert is one of those who ignores the price tag. Even if in his Brand Promise that is mentioned.

    Waiting for your next review 🌃. Keep up ypur good work!

  2. Oh hard to believe that it is still charging for laundry and some minibar, considering this price tag that is so insane. One cannot expect these discretionary charges at past when paying that much.

  3. Pls allow an extra comment : never seen anything even close to the offering of JANU WELLNESS! Its beyond on any expectations, even for a luxury hotel.

    As long time gym trainer and sport enthusiast I have never pumped into this Technogym's amazing Outrace equipment. Thank you for this piece of information!

    The Italian Alexandri brothers established this famous gym brand in their garage 40 yrs ago, like Steven Jobs did with Apple. Both came leaders in their niche.

    Time will tell how this type of wide variety of Wellness concept evolves among ultra luxury hotels . Atm this hotel leads this trend… By a margin to all others. 🤏

  4. well hope my brothers and I can go there as it has the same name as him, but the nightly rate is >4 month minimum wages here

  5. 靴べらと一緒にクローゼットにかけられていたのは、靴ブラシではなく洋服のほこりをとるブラシですね。
    間違えて靴にブラシをかけてしまうと次に使う人の服を汚すことになるのでコメントつけました。😉
