The one and only "honeymoon" hotel

It's not called that


Unfortunately. I booked the final night in Japan and decided to stay in a nicer hotel.

If what I'm told is correct this is the same hotel that is in "Lost in Translation" which I guess is cool, I will have to see that movie now however...

It just so happens that I bought a copy of Lost in Translation yesterday for a very low price. You're free to borrow it when you return. :)
