February midday Saturday travel is not busy
Get $20 currency exchange as soon as you can
Do not look for deals yet
Because of 60 yen…
We had hundreds of US$
That was useless in Shinjuku without currency exchange machines
Not much English nor direction from firm security to not allow passage
Now at the end of the trip:
I understand we needed to merely jump on the train back one stop and freely walk out
At the time:
Had to beg a tourist and was willing to pay $20 (lowest denomination I had) to get out of the station
Mercy was given freely
After smooth walk and check in to hotel
Simple curry
Lost my credit card along the way
Paid via phone tap wallet
Etiquette embedded in culture
Unfortunately no ski rental in town
Could not figure out wifi
Empty for this season
Forgot the room photo!
Comfortable floor tatame beds
More than Shinjuku
Onsen before bed
Good timing since I lost my lift ticket memorabilia
