The brand-new Hotel Zen Tokyo broadens our consciousness of what’s possible in a micro hotel.
Special Blue Label is adorned with traditional Japanese symbols of prosperity and happiness.
Online prices for the soon-disappearing Fuji-sanroku Tarajuku Genshu 50 doubled in a day, but there’s still hope for those with shallow pockets.
