A British vacation (but I'm also going to Japan)

So we grab our suitcases and took a taxi to Hamamatsucho Station to take the Monorail.
Yeah probably could taxi the whole way but remember we were stuck in a gigantic traffic jam coming out of Haneda one week ago....didn't want to risk it....

Go to Haneda T2 at 8.30pm-ish.

Since mother was not quick in getting ready, I wanted to be as close to the terminal as possible.
Well Excel Hotel Tokyu was literally inside the termianl! Can't beat the location.

Again we were assigned rooms on different floors and had to ask staff to change them for us!
I hate the hotels trying to push the kiosk check in with a passion

Anyways here is my room

There are like a million different room types in this hotel!
Looking at their website right now and I still can't tell which one was this

I think it might be the Superior Single?
Anyways I found the room to be quite nice and spacious.

Bathroom

This was taken the next morning.

Look closly, I guess we can call it "runway view"?

Most of the shops and restaurants in Haneda close around 8 or 9pm, so we were a bit late.
But not to worry, I had already found a solution.
Izumi Tenku no Yu!

We took the terminal transfer bus to T3 which was the main international terminal.
Follow the signs to Haneda Airport Garden (a bit like Jewel in Changi, it's a shopping centre attached to airport, doesn't have the Vortex though!)

This super sento is actually on Level 12 of Hotel Villa Fontaine.
Entrance fee was 4800Yen for non hotel guests.
