so this is what it's like to be almost
completely alone in Tokyo's Haneda
Airport this is new but I have something
to show you guys say
[Music]
hey guys I just arrived at Haneda
Airport here in Tokyo and if you're
anything like me you just want to get in
and see the room so let's head it
[Music]
this hotels for the Haneda
XL Hotel Tokyo it's a really long name
it's my first time to stay here and it's
so amazingly big inside and I think this
is our room right here
there we go the card in there just like
that and here we are so for the most
part this is what the room looks like
itself and the key feature of the room
the thing that's got me so excited today
is this right here a built-in flight
simulator right in the room you'll have
to excuse my excitement but where else
are you gonna find a Boeing 737-800
cockpit built into a hotel room other
than Japan Japan I love you so much I
just really do and this isn't this
hotel's first room like this back and I
think 2007 they opened up a room which I
believe was called the premium fliers
room it's a beautiful room if that
features a first-class seat that was
formerly used on overseas flights and
overlooks the runway a Hana to airport
if you booked it in advance you also
have the option to select a meal that
would come with a first-class flight for
those of you who don't want to pay for
those first-class and ticket prices as
far as normal hotels go this one might
take the prize for interesting hotel
rooms I can't stop looking out the
window the airplanes they definitely
have a fantastic view here especially if
you love plane spotting I always have
that is craziness before I give you a
full rundown of this place let me kill
the lights for a second and show you
exactly what this looks like
[Music]
and I figure I should get it out of the
way that no this video isn't sponsored
or anything like that I just personally
really love airplanes and love this
concept actually when I was a kid my
biggest dream in the entire world was to
be a pilot
specifically a helicopter pilot now
staying in this room cost me about
twenty five thousand yen
obviously prices are going to vary on
weekends and holidays and stuff like
that but you can't actually access the
cockpit if you're just staying in the
room there's a plastic cover that stops
you from getting in and touching the
instruments and sitting on the chair but
they do have a separate plan for I
believe around thirty thousand yen at
the time of this video where you can do
like a 90 minute trial with an
instructor who will walk you through the
simulator and everything like that also
since we're already here it feels like a
little bit of a waste if we don't do a
room tour so why don't we do that and
then grab a bit of food cuz I'm starting
to get hungry
alright so as with many Japanese hotel
rooms you start by putting the key in
and that turns on the light now pretty
much as soon as you get in that brings
you into the room area itself there are
two beds because it is a two-person room
I'm gonna turn off the air conditioner
because that's noisy there's a little
seating area and table everything right
there the cockpit space is right here
now I heard that the TV gives you the
option to display flight information so
if you have an upcoming flight it's it's
all displayed pretty much right there so
that's cool one thing I really like
about Japanese hotel rooms is they
always give you some form of pyjamas
which is nice because I typically don't
bring pyjamas when I'm traveling the
other thing that gets this hotel extra
points in my books is how nice and
spacious the bathroom area is
this is definitely one of the bigger and
nicer bathrooms I've seen in a Japanese
hotel right near the front door here
they do have an ample closet space as
well as yay a kettle and obviously
they're gonna have tea and coffee at
home I think this is one of my favorites
let me check there I think this is the
like one cup pour over coffee ah yes I
love these was that room too or too fast
though and it fell fast there's still a
lot more to show though so once I have
my coffee which is just about ready
we'll jump out grab some food and then
I'll show you around for those of you
who either a can't come or B are coming
in the near future which is actually a
pretty large part of these videos
because I know not all of you can make
it to Japan and even if you do you might
not be staying in a place like this in
fact I've never stayed in an airport
hotel before you might stay at them all
the time but this is a definite first
for me I figure there's no better place
to start and they do have a whole room
service menu here as well which has good
as it looks I still just kind of want to
jump down to the restaurant and super
the food there is like so let me finish
up my coffee and we'll head down
[Music]
of them
thanks for not my beauties
one of the reasons I just had to come
out and do this today is just that love
that I have for both airports because I
know that well how much I love hotels
and this is the perfect marriage of both
of those things so cheers to that
I'd actually booked the hotel without
any thoughts of making a video of it at
all I just wanted the experience so much
and then I thought it might be something
nice to bring you guys a lot so this
just pops off this burger first
you got curly fries I can't even
remember the last time I curly fries
in the room and a point that I
appreciate with a lot of places that
serve burgers the new pan is the little
mess containment bag as I call it that's
a good burger it's got bacon too
[Music]
that was a good meal I enjoyed that
all right all in all that was a really
good meal before we head back to the
room I don't want to step out into the
actual airport for a second considering
Haneda at night I think this is the
quietest I have ever seen this Airport
now if you don't know the difference
between Narita Airport and Haneda
Airport Haneda is a lot closer to the
city nutty does actually out in the area
of Chiba and Haneda is easily accessible
right from in Tokyo for me at least to
Haneda is definitely the more beautiful
of the two airports especially the
International Terminal it is just
gorgeous it's got this beautiful wooden
bridge that you can walk across and it's
actually got a big performance Hall
right there in the airport which I
didn't know about it until a couple
years ago when two shamisen players that
I typically travel with did a
performance there but the hotel is right
down this way but actually some of my
favorite vending machines in Tokyo are
right over here this entire set of
vending machines right here like this
one here has hot food options you can
get french fries and takoyaki this one
here is an instant ramen vending machine
this one here is just for each tinu
these dogs right look how adorable that
little guy is right there and the rest
are an assortment of food products and
souvenirs from different areas like
Fukushima and Toyama Golka and even
Kumamoto and I don't think I mentioned
it yet this is actually terminal two of
the domestic departures in Haneda yeah
so they just made an announcement about
this terminal closing up but honestly
just having the opportunity to come out
and see honey the airport like this this
alone kind of made all this worth it you
should uh
she really get back to the room now I
cannot express how much I love that and
as I was walking by the TV I noticed
something
I think this TV actually pulls it you
just just sit right there this is
clearly not how it's supposed to be it's
time to see these pajamas actually fit
the lap hotel pajamas I should also
mention that this does turn off but when
you first come into the room it's off
the entire cockpit is dark but there's
little buttons down here to turn it on
and off or switch it from daytime to
nighttime but what do you think with
this hotel be worth two hundred and
fifty or however much to you like is
this the kind of place that you would
like to stay in all fairness Japan has
absolutely no shortage of interesting or
amazing hotels so many different options
in fact my buddy Greg from life where
I'm from did an incredible video on all
the different Japanese hotel options
I'll leave it up there in case you want
to check it out what about this place a
room with a simulator or would you even
just book the simulator itself this also
has an evening or night version which I
think will just roll out on for today
