the only thing that sucks about roppongi is that, it is not off the yamanote line, and had to switch to the subway, the JR-Pass didn't cover it, i think of all the places we visited within Tokyo, Ropponggi was a bit out of the way, probably would be much better if we had time to check out the night clubs and stay in Roponggi, Next Time.
The hot j-girls of roponggi would have made the trip and hassle all good and worth it.
So, how much per night at that hotel, it looks like a five star hotel, you guys must've paid a lot for each night? how long did you stay there?

shouldn't worry about tying yourself down so much to the yamanote line we were only two stops away from Ebisu Station which was a JR station...so we bought a Tokyo Metro Card and used that and would conversely by the occasional JR ticket as needed or use a JR prepaid card. moreover, we were hella close to shibuya as well! that place is a sea of activity at night....

hmmm...let's just say it was expensive! we stayed there for six days....i felt like i was in a dream....then we left...then stayed at the Park Hyatt Shinjuku...now that hotel was even more ridiculous..... :shakehead: still in disbelief and some of the luxury that i experienced and witnessed.

Wow is this the lobby?

dude, that is better than the Shinagawa, and the place we stayed at in Shinagawa Prince Hotel was a nice one too, four star, and i recommend it, about $120 a night total, think we stayed five nights there.

nice pix of the hotel, dang, must be lots of $$$$$
but super nice, rooms a decent size? Shinagawa's was ok, figuring you are in japan and the size of the rooms are smaller. Although Five star ones may have normal western sized rooms...

i'm sure your hotel was nice....there are lots of nice hotels, of course their are degrees but given the japanese penchant for service & luxury i'm sure they're are many nicer hotels than in many other places around the world.

check out these other hotel pics.....

there was actually a shinto shrine at the Grand Hyatt as well

or check out the underground pool and lighted jacuzzi...that was friekin NUTS MAN...

and of course, some j-girls.
but first, infront of Shibuya-109
that place has some restarants on the top floor, must be level 8 or something, there was so much eye candy in that place.
and also some nice j-girls in uniform, how sexy they are..esp. the one in the middle. :naughty:

nice and clean....reminds of the new york subway...NOT! :shakehead:

some cute j-girls infront of shibuya-109

this cute j-girl was so sweet. I asked her if i can take her pix and she mumbled some japanese that i couldn't understand...but she smiled and said "souvenir", and told her yes, "hai, agrigato" and snapped the pix of her. The lighting in the pix wasn't too great as you can tell from the photo, but it turned out ok, I thought she was kinda cute. Not sure if she is classified as a ganguro girl, maybe...who cares, here she is..

AHHHHH lol my eyes are almost in tears, she's pretty hot.

qliver, i am just glad you actually went to shibuya 109 (as i suggested!) and saw some interesting stuff/people ....i would have loved to have gone inside...but there was too much shiet on our agenda....

8 floors, huh? sounds like a big place.

I wonder if this guy is going to call back.. I'm only still up because I think Pizza Hut lied and did not deliver my pizza and I'm so starved, I'm not driving out this time of night.

How much is normal in terms of spending money on gifts?
