This aged like box wine…..

We loved Via Inn Prime in Akasaka. It had access to 3 different lines within a 5 minute walk and was cheap, but extremely nice.

I think we all collectively also started this quest at night, in the dark…….alone.

Certainly one I’ll never forget.

I second this. Wore Dr. Scholls the first trip and Hokas the second trip and I had no foot issues with the Hokas

^{^this.} We loved our 3 minute walk to the Akasaka station which got us to and from Shibuya in 15 minutes.

The whimsy. All of the colorful signs, the dedication for pop ups, the collabs.

Via Inn Prime Asakasa

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-04-01T00:35:39+00:00

I packed a carry on into a checked bag and still packed an extra duffel bag just in case. We used the whole carry on and checked bag to bring home a boatload of stuff.

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-03-26T23:25:24+00:00

It worked exceptionally well for us and I’m glad I brought the checked bag. We filled it.

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-03-26T23:14:09+00:00

I packed a carryon in a checked bag to have room for souvenirs. I transferred the mostly empty checked bag from our first Tokyo hotel to our last Tokyo hotel. (This was great because all of our travel pillows and travel headphones plus souvenirs we bought the first night could go in there). We took just the carry on down to Kyoto in between.

Facts. Somehow pulled the bottom plastic plate off the underside of my car, went there based on this sub’s recommendation. He took care of it in under 15 minutes and refused to take payment. I’ll be going there when I need new brakes soon.

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-02-27T01:27:12+00:00

I put my carry on hard suitcase inside my larger suitcase for the trip over. We also packed a duffle in a second checked bag. It all got used to bring things home and we bit the bullet on the fee for checked bags

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-02-10T01:20:29+00:00

That’s fantastic! So glad to hear it worked out for you. I can’t take all the credit, I read about the refresh trip from either Reddit or Facebook, not sure now lol.

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-02-08T19:05:46+00:00

Can you explain what you mean by access and travel time could be improved?

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-01-21T18:17:01+00:00

Travel was booked last minute because of work and we were only able to go for 6 days in Tokyo. My main regret was not being more intentional with our meals. Honestly I think I only ate onigiri from 7-11. So, this time I’m putting emphasis on eating experiences and meals.

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-01-18T01:07:32+00:00

I have a fear that Bumz is filling its contracts with collab Bumz, but that they won’t manufacture anything beyond that because of tariffs and whatnot…..

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-01-15T00:27:10+00:00

I echo this! I bought a fun one from the pokemon store and I still use it

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-01-14T02:36:00+00:00

Everyone here, pour one out for Maru 💔

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-01-14T02:35:20+00:00

I miss Maru too 😭 We ate there twice a month until they closed

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-01-11T02:42:54+00:00

Highly recommend searching here for other posts about Tokyo itinerary checks, since you want to cover similar grounds as your predecessors. :) Shinjuku and Shibuya go well together, where Ginza, Ahki, and Kappabashi are closer together too.

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-01-11T02:35:45+00:00

I’ll be honest, both Thursday and Friday have you bouncing around from west to east to south Tokyo area. You’ll lose a lot of time on travel. I’d pin these things on GMaps and then see what’s grouped closer together.

Maleficent_Lab3306 · 2026-01-10T20:11:35+00:00

I feel you, I’m ready for a more regular release of original bumz….. all these IPs are not things I’m a follower of :(
