you can check out Mystays hotel chain too. why not stay in shinjuku area? it's abit cheaper than tokyo station area. If you want a bigger size room, book twin size bedroom. it will be slightly bigger

That bus is direct bus and its not included in Hakone Free pass. As for which is better, really depends when you are going. At one time I was caught in a jam and it was better off that I actually take a train. Others you will have to get it from the web. Every 30mins really depends on the time of the day I think.

Not sure if this has been posted before.

On March 14, 2015, the NEX Tokyo Direct Ticket will be discontinued and replaced by the NEX Tokyo Round Trip Ticket. The new ticket will provide a round trip from the airport into Tokyo/Yokohama and back to the airport within a 14 day period. Unfortunately, the cost will increase to 4000 yen, effectively reducing the discount over regular tickets to "only" 33-55 percent. A one way option will not be available.

Just browse tru Mystays Hotel Website, can 3 person stay in 1 room? Quite confusing because although i click 3 adults, the price per night is same as 2 person or 1 person.

This is written in the FAQ section.
[Children aged 7 and older are charged at the adult rate. Please include them in the number entered in the No. of Adults box　when making on-line reservations.]

Thanks

Already been post last year.

i see thanks for the info

Guys, once I reach Shibuya from Narita airport, I will meet up my colleague at Roppongi for lunch because our Tokyo office is in Roppongi. I know that Roppongi doesn't have many things to explore and it's considered expensive to shop there. It has beautiful night view but that's at night. Anything that worth for me to visit during day time? If no, I will skip this and go to Imperial Palace. It's a pity that I couldn't get the free tour but I guess that's not a big issue.

Then I will find something to walk around that area before going back to Shibuya again to meet my friend for dinner. Probably will explore Harajuku. I will also walk around Shibuya that night and want to witness the famous Shibuya Crossing. I will also visit the statue of the most loyal dog - Hachiko.

Is this a good idea? Any suggestion is welcomed, I know I could be really exhausted on that day because I will touch down early in the morning...

Shibuya got darn lots of things other than the crossing and Hachiko. Don't just stroll the main streets.

Roppongi, I am sure you will find it different than what you perceive once you are there. Have fun navigating the Mori Tower a bit for the first time. Right beside there is Asahi TV too.

Bro sacwoc is working there.

Cool. I will try to find out about Shibuya then.
Our office is inside the Mori Tower though. Good thing for me.
Asahi TV? OK OK.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try to find and push Harajuku to morning.
I tried to Google 18 mastercraft but is not returning me with good results. What's this mastercraft thingy ya?
Thanks.

Asahi TV was like museum. The 2 most classic was Doraemon & あたしンち (Atashin'chi).

18 Mastercraft was made by 18 Top designer in Japan. Some made from Recycle stuff...some very future idea.

I see. I will be visiting the Doraemon museum because I'm a big fan of Doraemon.

So it's a handcraft thingy?

Hi Guys, I've plan to visit Tokyo end of October 2015. I actually have a plan to drive a Toyota GT86 up to the Mount Hakuna (Mount Akina) but I don't seems to find any Car Rental for Toyota GT86.

Can anyone share the info with me if any? Many Thanks!
