channeling murakami

The first and only time I was in Tokyo we stayed at a quite strangely 70’s styled hotel. The furniture looked like rejected props from the original Star Trek set. For this trip, I was looking forward to exploring a bit more of Tokyo and finding a family-friendly side. I clicked on the hotel link a few days ago and felt a bit of deja vu. Never heard of this hotel. Feeling dismissed.

With my shiny new bilingual atlas and Google maps, I started looking up things we may need to find to make Tokyo life a bit easier with a toddler. Eventually we entered the hotel we stayed in last time and somehow it came up with the same address as the current hotel. The confusion was cleared up when we realized the hotel had been bought by another hotel group, name changed. And somehow out of all the hotels in all of Tokyo we will be staying exactly where we were in 2005. Hopefully there will be no sheep involved.
