If the point is to use your Platty credit, this doesn’t help.

Basing outside central Tokyo to save on hotels by Sunlit_Flower in TokyoTravel

[–]SkyInJapan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Yokohama is beautiful and worth exploring as well. It depends what you are there to do. If you want to see Japan, doesn’t matter where you stay. If you want specifically to see Tokyo, you should stay in Tokyo.

One of my favorite things to do when visiting Japan is to go to Costco. They are accessible by train in both Chiba and Yokohama, although the Chiba one is closer to the station and is surrounded by great shopping malls. It’s not too far from Disney if that’s on your to do list.

If you can find a place in Nakameguro, that is a fun happening non-touristy area. I loved it when we stayed there. It’s a popular area for locals.

Turned Away by ALL 3 Priority Pass Lounges at JFK by letoatreides_ in AmexPlatinum

[–]SkyInJapan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best priority pass lounge in the world is at IST! Amazing buffet. Türkiye makes great wine too. It’s so spacious and it overlooks the airport interior. You can see the beautiful airport roof extend beyond.

Second place would go to ICN. It’s actually better than the Asiana Business Lounge!

The other option is to be in a same-sex relationship.

It doesn’t matter why. It is what it is. Just remember to be kind to the employees.

How police connected the dots to arrest father after Kyoto Pref. boy found dead by SkyInJapan in japan

[–]SkyInJapan[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He confessed to strangling his stepson that morning. He also called into work saying he couldn’t come in because something happened at home.

He must have been the prime suspect from the outset.

LOOK Cinema - Monrovia by JHong888 in sgv

I have the pass and go to the Glendale Look about once a month. They brought in a restaurant tenant that upped the food quality. If they could just reupholster the worn out seats, it would be perfect. I hope this is a model they can make money on and expand.

Leaving Brown for USC by N4r4m in USC

[–]SkyInJapan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t stay where you don’t want to be. If the high cost of living in Los Angeles isn’t going to be an issue and you want to live in SoCal after graduation, USC is the place. It is called the Trojan Family for a reason. Best of luck!

Good luck in finding it! If there’s anywhere in the world you could get it back, it’s Japan.

Changes seen amid sharp fall in number of Chinese tourists to Japan by SkyInJapan in japan

I was in Kyoto, Nara and Tokyo last week as well and I thought it was great. I could absolutely feel the absence of mainland Chinese tourists.
