never stayed before, but quick google on map tells me both are very good. but century southern tower seems to be under partial reno if u read those Feb 2014 comments. but being near to railway tracks, so not sure abt noise:P

but that's as near as u could get to Taka, Tokyo Hands, Lumine, Lumine 2, and all the small eateries and shops in that area:)

Anybody travel by Delta Air to Tokyo ? Any reviews appreciated !

If your only experience on airlines are with Asian carriers, you will be in for a shock.

The lower your expectations, the higher your satisfaction

Any idea if their Sanrio product is it very expensive in Tokyo?

Looking for some vintage little twin stars/keroppi stuff…or if you know of any places sell such stuff? Thanks!

Finally settled the accommodations and air tickets… probably going to Disneysea and universal studios…


Can anyone advise if it is good to visit Mt Fuji in June? Some said it will be covered by clouds and not worth going…

Any other must see? Any tips on good lobangs?

Either go to Kiddy Land at Harajuku (but they sell non-Jap toys like Barbie as well) or take subway to TOKYO station, B1 Basement First Avenue (all the Japanese toy and stationery shops are in this underground mall including Plarail, Tomica, NHK characters, Sanrio, Shinkansen, Keropi, Doraemon, etc.).

Oh, thanks so much for the shopping tips! Will sure put that into my itinerary .....

Any benefits to buying the Disneyland/Sea tickets online versus on site?

Also is it good time to visit Fuji? Understand that it will be cloudy during June…
