After an early start, a nine-hour flight from Australia, two exhausted children and two equally exhausted parents on our first trip to Japan, the glass doors of Mimaru Tokyo Station East felt less like a hotel entrance and more like an exhale.
We arrived past dinner time, teetering on the edge of our kids’ bedtimes, knowing the next morning would bring TeamLab Planets, followed by Disneyland the day after. We chose this stay for convenience, space and sanity – bigger than the average Japanese hotel room (so we’d been told), close to the train station and offering easy access to our next destinations.
Relief washed over me as we stepped inside our two-bedroom apartment: warm lighting, neatly made beds and a compact dining table ready for a throw-together dinner from the conveniently located 7-Eleven downstairs.
