Tokyo had been on my bucket list for quite some time and so I was super excited to visit Japan’s capital for a long weekend beginning of August. Despite the heat, I loved every single minute of my sightseeing tour not least because of my hotel room in the The Prince Park Tower Tokyo.
Before arriving in Tokyo I was afraid that the city would quickly overwhelm me. I had heard of its many people and lack of English signs. As I entered The Prince Park Tower Tokyo hotel after a flight from Hong Kong to Tokyo and quite a journey on public transport (taxi prices are insane in Tokyo), the lobby and welcome of the staff felt quite relaxed and comforting. To my surprise it was very quite in the lobby in spite of the hotel’s 33 floor-size and the fact that it was almost fully booked. Yet, The Price Park Tower Tokyo has a strong focus on business traveler and even though I saw a handful of tourists, most people were wearing suits, among them a very few Westerners.
The hotel itself has several restaurants on different floors specialising in various cuisines (American, Japanese, sushi etc.). My personal highlight is certainly the bar on the top floor with an amazing view over the city and the Tokyo Tower….
It is hard not to think of food when thinking about Portland. Before I even knew that I would go and visit Portland I already heard about its food-obsession. Having arrived on the foodie world map a few years ago I was curious to explore every little part of it. I currently live in Hong Kong where local food is rare and molecular cuisine is often favoured over slow cooking organic meals. Yet another reason to be super excited to visit one of the if not even the best destination for food lovers in the Pacific Northwest.
