Accommodation - Shimbashi

Accommodation - Shimbashi

We left it very late so were very limited in our choice of hotels and had to pay through the roof for it. We stayed at the APA Shimbashi Toranomon. The hotel room was literally a shoe-box with the bed touching three walls, but it was perfectly comfortable and in an ex...

Roppongi - Bars and Restaurants

Roppongi - Bars and Restaurants

We went to Roppongi a couple of times for two of the most fantastic meals. On Friday night we ate at an amazing Teppanyaki restaurant called Omae XEX. This was not cheap (!), but it was worth it. We had a set chef's menu, which included sushi, soup and then delicio...
