東京是日本的首都。每年有2800萬遊客，這個城市的街道擁有許多精彩的景點和體驗，適合各個年齡的人士欣賞及享受。但是，在計劃假期時，你很容易就會忘了要讓這趟旅程作預算。因此，為避免令人討厭的意外，我們例出了4樣在東京值得你揮霍的事，以確保你可以在這座城市度過一段美好且負擔得起的好時光。

• 

住宿

在東京值得揮霍的第一件事就是住宿。日本有這麼多酒店提供不同的至抵優惠，你要捉好機會住在最好的地點。而最好的，莫過於是東京王子大飯店。這個迷人的城市地區讓你可以輕鬆前往必看景點，並且提供寬敞舒適的住宿讓你好好休息。在日本和西方文化完美的結合下，王子畫廊酒店絕對能為你提供一流的服務，使你的東京之旅變得更加特別。

銀座

銀座是東京最繁華的購物區，銀座就如紐約的商業中心 – 時代廣場。銀座距離東京王子大飯店只有很短的路程，而這裡絕對是一個值得揮霍的好地方。在這個地區可以找到高級商店、時裝店和高科技奇觀，到處都是誘惑。而日本最著名、屢獲殊榮的餐廳數寄屋橋次郎就位於銀座。快點預訂，並準備好來體驗的奇妙烹飪傑作。為了獲得完美的銀座體驗，我們建議你到歌舞伎座看一場傳統的歌舞伎表演，相信這會成為你日本之旅的亮點。

東京迪士尼樂園

如果你計劃來一趟家庭旅行，那麼你絕對不應錯過到訪東京迪士尼樂園的機會。善待自己和你的孩子，快來購買迪士尼樂園提供的夢幻主題公園的門票，讓紀念你和你的家人擁有一個可以珍藏多年的回憶。體驗獨特的東京迪士尼海洋，在瘋狂的遊樂設施上驚嘆不已，或者單單享受只有地球上最快樂的地方才能產生的耀眼而誘人的氣氛，相信都已能令你樂而忘返。

機器人餐廳 我們還需要多說嗎？很抱歉，它不是像其名字說的一樣。儘管機器人無法為你提供食物，但它們確實會瘋狂表演，讓你好好欣賞。表演者充滿活力，舞者們用機器人、龍、小丑和弦樂音樂家等來進行一場激動人心的表演。門票可能會有點貴，但是這種體驗絕對值得你在東京之旅中揮霍的。在這座城市度過了瘋狂卻令人難忘的一天後，回到東京王子大飯店，享受幸福舒適的晚上。

日本是一個充滿著非凡品質的國家，它吸引了世界各地的遊客。從迷人的歷史建築到有令人難以置信治療功效的天然溫泉，每個人可以在這個地方找到一點樂趣。日本最顯著的特徵之一就是其絕佳滑雪機會。覆蓋群山的獨特粉狀白雪提供了絕佳的環境，讓人們可以享受滑雪的樂趣。請繼續讀下去以了解如何計劃前往日本的終極滑雪之旅。

全年最佳的時間

• 

要計劃一趟成功的滑雪之旅，時間就是一切。從十二月到三月都是滑雪的季節，而旺季即在一月到二月之間，因為這裡有獨特的粉狀雪。考慮到這一點，提前預定行程非常重要，這樣你就可以飽覽日本頂級的滑雪勝地。我們建議你前往新潟或白馬，享受絕佳的滑雪體驗。

假期長短

如果這是你第一次計劃滑雪之旅，要決定假期的長短恐怕是一件難事。要記住的重要一點是，全國各地有很多令人嘆為觀止的景點可供參觀，因此，如果你是從很遠的地方到訪的話，則可以將滑雪與觀光結合。通常滑雪之旅為期1到2週，這樣你便可以充分利用時間，好好享受行程。如果選擇日本新潟市最頂級的滑雪勝地，你便可以在看膩了山景時到港口城市探索一番，保證你在旅程中不會感到無聊。

享受休息時間

儘管滑雪多有趣，但經過一整天的極限運動後，你可能會感到全身酸痛。因此，選擇日本附近擁有天然溫泉的頂級滑雪勝地絕對是一個明智之舉。這些天然溫泉是該國的絕妙特色，以其奇妙的治療功效而聞名。整天在雪中遊玩難免刺激到皮膚及乾燥。在浸溫泉時皮膚可吸收礦物質，其高含量的硫能使皮膚光滑和水潤。不僅如此，眾所周知的，溫泉中的礦物質，例如鈣和二氧化矽，可以減輕肌肉疼痛。如果你仍然不相信的話，那麼水的溫暖可以減輕壓力並有助於更深層的睡眠。因此，在休息期間浸一下溫泉絕對百利而無一害。

一流的食物選擇 在日本頂級滑雪勝地中選擇時，必須考慮到為你提供的食物選擇。在全球，日本菜都是十分有名的，因此你應該確保該地區的餐廳提供的服務是能夠代表這個國家的。

Are you planning to visit the fantastic country of Japan in 2020? Whether it be for business or pleasure, you are certainly in for a real treat. The cities of Japan dazzle visitors through unbelievable entertainment, marvellous historic features and some of the wackiest fashion and dining experiences that the world has to offer. During your stay, we imagine that you will want to experience some of the iconic dining experiences for which Japan is known. It’s important to remember, however, that culture is very important in this society, and there are some manners that you should familiarise yourself before dining – especially if you are eating with local clients. Read on to discover everything you need to know. 

Sharing Bowls

First thing’s first, you will want to make the most of the menu that you will see. If you’re fortunate enough to be dining in one of the stunning sunshine city restaurants, then you will be tempted to order every single thing on the menu. However, there are plenty of sharing options available so that you can sample as much of the flavours as you desire. This is an incredibly popular way to dine in restaurants, however, you should be sure to not offend others at the table. We recommend that you never eat directly from the sharing bowl. Not only is this not hugely hygienic, but it is considered very bad manners in Japan and may cause offence. Instead, use a separate set of utensils to dish out a portion onto your plate before eating – that way, you can enjoy all the flavours without a bitter atmosphere. 

Drinking

When dining in one of the fantastic sunshine city restaurants, you may quickly realise that communal drinks are quite a common thing. Whether this is water, sake, wine or other, communal jugs are a great way to save a little money and share an experience with those around you (as well as making some great talking points if you are with clients). However, one thing you should definitely not do is fill up your own glass. This is considered selfish and will be frowned upon by most locals. Instead, you should offer to fill up your neighbour’s cup, this will not only keep your friends happy, but they will then return the favour so that you can have a refill also. It is also good to remember if you are meeting a client, that the person who extended the invitation pays for the dinner. This is typical in Japanese culture, so if the client invited you and is keen to pay – you should let them and avoid embarrassment and offence. 

General Table Rules

Now we’ve covered the two biggies, we’ve got a few smaller tips that you should try to remember while dining at the sunshine city restaurants. Firstly, chopsticks should not be raised above your mouth or rested upon your bowl, this is just the table etiquette – like placing your knife and fork neatly once you’ve finished a meal. Secondly, you shouldn’t take slurping as bad manners – it is in fact a sound that shows appreciation, so slurp away, especially if you’re enjoying the soup. Lastly, you should always return your plates to how you found them at the start of your meal. Again this is just a common courtesy that you should follow to avoid displaying bad manners.

Are you planning a ski trip to Japan this year? If so, lucky you! The prefectures of Japan are varied, plentiful and awe-inspiring, with their natural beauty and of course, fantastic winter sporting facilities. We are sure that this is something that you can’t wait to tick off that bucket list, and you will want the experience of a lifetime, with minimal stresses, drama or fussing. However, planning a ski trip to a destination that you have never been to before can be daunting, to say the least, and hours can be spent scrolling through endless articles, advice pages and hotel FAQs trying to find all the information you need. So, to help you out, we have a few travel tips to take into consideration when planning your Japan Ski Trip. Read on to find out more. 

• 

Location, location, location 

Now, we know this may seem obvious, but it’s important to remember that Japan is HUGE. So, if you have any cities/sites that you really do not want to miss while you’re visiting on a ski trip, then it’s probably best that you choose a ski destination that’s only a couple of hours away. For example, the Karuizawa Ski Resort is close to both Nagano and Tokyo, meaning that you can get to these cities with only a little bit of planning – and spontaneity can be afforded! Whereas if you wanted to visit Tokyo but you’ve booked a stay in Hokkaido, then you’re looking at a couple of hours flight that will need plenty of planning and forward-thinking. 

Travel 

Secondly, you will want to think about how you’re going to get around. If you want your ski holiday to be just that – skiing, then you may not have thought too hard about how you’re going to get around. Well, one of our favourite things about Japan is the fantastic public transport that it has to offer. Incredibly speedy, super-efficient and perfectly punctual, the trains of Japan will certainly get you where you need to go. We highly recommend that you choose to fly into somewhere that you can easily connect to a train – so that you don’t have to figure out the bus timetables (which are rarely translated), or hire a car. Of course, if you want to hire a car that will not be a problem, but you will need to think about revising Japanese road signs and a few keywords so that you don’t find yourself in a bit of a pickle when getting to your Karuizawa Ski Resort. 

Check out the Facilities 

This last point cannot be stressed enough – check out the facilities of your hotel. You will want your resort to have varied, exciting slopes and trails that you/your family can enjoy, and you may even want to hire equipment – so it’s always worth checking the quality of what they offer. Furthermore, you should check that the hotel has an onsen for guests like the Karuizawa Ski Resort does. This is not only a quintessential Japanese experience that you should enjoy, but it also has tremendous benefits for your body that it will thank you for after long days out in the snow. These include soothing aching muscles, smoothing out dried skin and aiding a great nights sleep.

今年，你将第一次出差吗？如果是的话，那恭喜你哟！出差是很激动人心的，它不仅为你的职业生涯打开机会大门，还能为你带来新的日常生活体验。试想一下，无需订假期或买机票便可以到一个新城市去探秘！商务旅行的另一个令人激动的地方是，它开辟了享受商务休闲之旅的可能性。对于那些对这个概念不熟悉的人来说，商务休闲之旅是指额外休假几天，以有更多时间到出差目的地旅游一下。它正在迅速普及，是促进工作与生活之间更好的平衡的一种好方法。如果你需要自己预定酒店，那么你需要考虑一些事情，往下读一读，了解一下吧。

• 

酒店位置

商务旅行时，酒店应位于最佳位置。例如，如果你去东京出差，酒店应该订在像品川王子大饭店大厦这样的位于商务中心的酒店。通过选择临近大量公共交通选项的中心位置，可以最大程度地减轻商务会议当天的压力。如果你在远离市中心的地方选了廉价酒店，在去开会的路上迷路了，这就再糟糕不过了。入住市中心的酒店不仅是为了减轻你的压力，还因为迟到在日本文化中被视为非常不礼貌的行为。

酒店装潢

在考虑选择何种类型的东京酒店时，你应该选一家豪华高档的知名酒店。这样，如果客户在酒店与你会面，就可以以此展示出你的公司是成功富有的。品川王子大饭店大厦等酒店的室内装潢豪华气派，并设有可鸟瞰城市全景景观的酒吧，是举行令人影响深刻的商务会议的理想场所。

团队出差

如果你带领团队出差，则需要使团队成员感到尽可能的舒适和自信，尤其在他们首次代表公司出国的情况下。通过将住宿订在同一家酒店，你可以营造一种团结氛围，还可以在下班时间方便地开会，准备商务提案，确保所有人能达成共识。

配套设施

最后，我们建议您在预订酒店之前注意一下配套设施。记住，商业会议的重点是给人留下深刻印象。因此，选择了拥有高档配套设施的酒店的话，你可以邀请客户，以装潢时尚气派、配有先进技术的会议室给客户留下深刻印象，从而帮你增添商务提案的分量。

日本以许许多多的特色而著称。从绝美的樱花盛景到高耸的摩天大楼，每个人都定会在这个国家找到自己喜欢的东西。如果你打算冬季时到日本旅游，那么想必一定少不了安排滑雪。日本各地的壮丽山脉带来无与伦比的冬季运动体验，适合各种年龄和水平。如果你是一个跃跃欲试的初学者，想到日本闻名的标志性粉状积雪上体验一下，你肯定很想找到适合自己水平的最佳雪道。往下读一读，了解一下我们精选出来的最适合初学者的日本滑雪道吧。

苗场山

我们首推苗场山。苗场山可以从长野滑雪度假酒店甚至东京（乘火车仅2个小时）轻松抵达，那里的滑雪场雪道适合各类水平，但仅仅适合初学者的雪道便占了30％，因此，初学者们可以饱享滑雪乐趣，而不必担心与更有经验的滑雪者抢道。苗场山的妙处在于，你可以在这些雪道上参加滑雪课或进行练习，然后到升级到占了40%的中级水平雪道——这样，如果你想要挑战的话，这里也有机会。

轻井泽

轻井泽位于长野县，是我们最爱的度假小镇。在长野滑雪度假酒店入住，这一秀美的山区小镇便近在咫尺。在这里，你将被风景如画的森林和周边的群山和火山原始自然美景所围绕。这里的雪道主要面向初学者，占所有雪道的50％，这意味着你永远不会因为一直沿着同样的路线滑雪而感到厌烦，因为有为数众多的雪道可供选择。在轻井泽期间，我们强烈建议泡一泡当地的神奇火山温泉。在长时间的运动后，泡一泡火山温泉能缓解肌肉酸痛，舒缓寒冷的天气造成的皮肤干燥问题，让你整夜安眠。轻井泽的火山温泉俯瞰周围秀美的森林，给你带来全身心的放松体验。

雫石町 如果你想在滑雪假期中挑战一下超高海拔，那么绝对不要错过雫石町的雪道。雫石町是伊泽州县最高的山峰，40％的雪道供初学者使用，因此你将有诸多选择。和轻井泽一样，你可以在体验滑雪乐趣的同时欣赏秀丽的森林景色及周围的群山全景。该地区最长的雪道约有4500米。雫石町可以从长野滑雪度假酒店轻松到达，无论是对独自旅行还是阖家旅行的游客来说都是完美的一日游。

东京是日本的繁华首都，超现代风格与古老历史在这座城市里相遇。漫步于东京街头，可以看到精致的历史建筑傲然挺立在未来风格的摩天大楼边上。无论你是到东京出差还是旅游，东京的角角落落都有着绝妙的机会和体验。每年有数百万的游客来到这座城市，他们的年龄和娱乐观大不相同，但没有人失望而归，即使是到东京出差的人也是如此。如果你近期第一次到东京出差，那么你可能想知道如何充分利用在东京的时间，而不会因为烦人的工作而错过任何体验。往下读一读，了解一下如何充分利用东京商务之旅吧。

• 

制定行程

首先，你考虑过商务休闲之旅吗？也就是说，在商务之旅后请几天假用来旅游，这样，你就可以到出差目的地游玩一下了。如果没办法做到这一点，那么，我们知道工作是放在首位的，但这并不意味着你就不能充分利用在东京的时间。通过事先做好计划、确保为商业活动做好准备，你会有一些空闲时间去逛一逛东京的景点。最好的方法是在出行前查好信息，这样，你便有更多时间享受东京带来的体验，比如在品川王子大饭店豪华中餐厅享用晚餐。 提前做好计划以后，若你有一小时或一下午的空闲时间，就能直接前往感兴趣的景点，而无需对此多加计划或考虑了。

注重礼节

日本礼节与西方礼节有所不同，为了避免在旅途中无意冒犯别人或引起尴尬，你应该了解一下日本礼节，基本礼仪是一个很好的起点。这虽然似乎是显而易见的，但是事实会让你感到惊讶。在安顿下来并在品川王子大酒店豪华中餐厅中享用早餐后，你定是要赶去赴商业约会了。首先，在向人问好时，与人们通常的认识相反，你不用鞠躬（除非你对这种问候方式较为熟悉）。鞠躬通常会造成不必要的尴尬，商务人士也不会指望你会鞠躬，而握手则是可以接受的。在日本，守时是必须的，所以不要提早到，也不到迟到，因为两者都会冒犯对方。最后，如果你与日本公司共用晚餐，那么应该熟悉一些注意事项。首先，就食物而言，应该在吃之前将菜夹到自己的碗里。同样，共享饮料时，切勿将自己的杯子倒满。相反，根据日本传统，你应该把需要饮料的其他人的杯子倒满，因为这是正统的举止。别担心，其他人会回敬你，把你的杯子倒满的。这些不仅是常见礼节，而且在日本用餐时需要注意。

团队活动

如果你带团队到东京出差，应该考虑到，你的同事可能会受紧张情绪的影响。这可能是他们第一次出国出差，团队希望留下良好印象，辛勤的工作也应该得到回报。所幸，在商务上颇有成就的一天后，东京有大量适合团队活动的机会。我们建议在精致的品川王子大饭店豪华中餐厅用餐后，到东京城里度过难玩的夜晚。

世界上的每个城市都各具特色，值得游客前去探秘，但是，似乎没有城市比标志性世界时尚名城更加魅力十足了。无论你是对皮草（当然是人造皮草）情有独钟，为短短的迷你连衣裙所狂热，还是钟情于时尚界的奇特前卫风格，有一些城市是不容错过的。因此，无论你是在东京王子大饭店还是布达佩斯的马里奥特酒店，往下读一读，了解一下世界四大时尚之都吧！

巴黎

首先，我们当然要提到巴黎。对于一个以面包和奶酪闻名的国家，你会为巴黎人的苗条身材感到惊讶。“光之城”巴黎不仅有着顶尖设计师（Jean-Paul-Gaultier、Givenchy、Lagerfeld等），还有50多所世上最享有盛名的时装学校，因此，巴黎跻身我们的榜首并不令人意外。到这一法国时尚之都走一走，不仅可以在画廊中观赏到艺术品，还能在“Très Chic”（非常时尚）的纤瘦模特身上观赏到。如果你有幸在两年一度的巴黎时装周期间去巴黎走一走，还有可能看到时尚届的名人哦！

东京

巴黎有着低调的优雅，而东京则有着极度的前卫个性。入住东京王子大饭店，你将位处时尚地带中心，看到世界上最具标志性的装束。这一超现代都市有着壮观的城市景观，当然还有原宿女孩的传奇风格。东京时尚独一无二，大胆的色彩、新颖的独特时尚概念和氛围让你似乎到了100年后的未来。东京时装周以其独特的设计和明艳的色彩，正在迅速成为世界上最受期待的时装展之一。

伦敦

伦敦作为时尚之都已由来已久，但到这座城市走一走，其实可能会让你感到惊讶。没错，你可以在伦敦市中心看到奢华的设计师专卖店和在那里购物的明星，但伦敦的每个区其实都有着自己的风格，营造了多元的美妙时尚体验。东伦敦偏爱个性化和舒适感，大胆的印花搭配马丁靴和时髦发型。卡姆登地区则风行垃圾摇滚时尚，随处可以找到皮革和蕾丝花边！

纽约

最后，还不能忘了“大苹果城”纽约。纽约作为一座标志性城市有很多原因，但时尚绝对是一个重要因素。和巴黎一样，这座城市的50多家多产的时装学校人才济济，至今已培养出了众多时尚界知名人士。Donna Karren和 Marc Jacobs等等著名设计师都是纽约人。到这座城市走一走，定会让每个时尚达人都心满意足。

Japan has many unique and magnificent qualities. From the futuristic fashion icons and Modern buildings to the rich culture and heritage, it is hardly surprising that the sites of Japan are on countless bucket lists. One of the most iconic features of Japan is the stunning cherry blossoms that bloom across the country each year. Clouds of pink petals adorn the streets and are widely considered as a symbol of Japan, bringing in millions of visitors wishing to enjoy the beauty of the trees. If you’re visiting in 2020, you will want to know the cherry blossom forecast. Read on to find out more. 

January-February

Many of the people wanting to visit in January and February are there to enjoy the fantastic winter sports destinations that the mountains boast. The heavy snowfall that gathers on the mountain ranges in these months has a powdery quality which makes for perfect snow-sport conditions. However, as we are sure you can appreciate, this is not the place to enjoy cherry blossoms. To view the stunning Spring Time phenomenon, you would have to travel to the southern islands. Here you will find a slightly different sort of experience, but you can still enjoy the cherry blossom festival that takes place in Yogi Park. Here you will discover the gorgeous cherry blossoms of Okinawa. Their colouring is deeper pink and the blossoms, rather peculiarly, bloom in a downward direction, which makes them different from the Cherry Blossoms found in other areas of Japan. 

March – April 

March and April are the ultimate times to visit mainland Japan to view the spectacular Cherry Blossom Displays and enjoy a festival or two in the process. The months of March and April welcome the most promising times to view the blossoms across the country. When staying in Tokyo, we recommend that you opt for the Shinjuku Gyoen Nation Garden. Voted one of the top 10 viewing spots for cherry blossoms, this Nation Garden is a fantastic place to enjoy a picnic, after taking a stroll down the picture-perfect paths that travel deep among the vibrant blossoms. When staying in Tokyo, you should look no further than Shinagawa Hotel Accommodation. Here, not only will you find timelessly elegant interiors and cosy rooms, but also an impressive selection of facilities and over 9 restaurants! 

May 

May is the latest time that you can enjoy Cherry Blossoms in Japan, and you will have to travel north to do so. Although the forecasts for Mainland Japan show that the blossoms will be long gone, you can still catch them in the Northern Island of Hokkaido. Hokkaido is known and loved for it’s fantastic winter sports facilities, but all too often doesn’t get the credit it deserves for its stunning springtime displays. We recommend that after you’ve explored Tokyo and treated yourself to a stay at the gorgeous Shinagawa Hotel’s Accommodation, you head up to this stunning part of Japan. The Shirogane Blue Pond is a picturesque location where you can unwind away from the crowds of the city and enjoy the blossoms next to the crystal clear waters of the pond, which on a still day, mirror the vibrant colours of the blossoms. 

When you think of Tokyo, what comes to mind? For us, it’s futuristic images of spectacular skyscrapers standing among historic landmarks that have strong links to the countries culture. However, after days of exploring the sites and experiencing the iconic fashion for which Tokyo is known, we imagine you will want to sample some of the finest food in the city. Although Tokyo has some incredibly famously wacky establishments like the Robot Restaurant, you certainly don’t want to miss the stylish ones. Read on to discover our top picks for stylish restaurants in Tokyo, 2020. 

Shinagawa Restaurants

Shinagawa Hotel is as the height of sophistication in Tokyo. The interiors ooze with effortless elegance, and they boast an impressive array of facilities for all ages to enjoy. Our favourite feature, however, is the Shinagawa Hotel Restaurants. Yes, you read that right, this impressive hotel is home to a whopping 9 restaurants, which offer cuisine from all over the globe, leaving little need to leave the hotel at all! When considering the most stylish of these, we would have to start with the Dining Bar Table 9. Floor to ceiling windows provides panoramic views of the iconic Tokyo Skyline, which is beautifully complemented by the deep blue interiors of the restaurant. The Ichozaka is also an incredibly stylish restaurant that should also be included. This Shinagawa Hotel Restaraunt is pristine, modern, and includes a spectacular show kitchen. 

Kichijoji Sun Tama Bar 

If you want a change from the wonderful Shinagawa Hotel Restaurants, then we recommend that you head straight for Kichijoji Sun Tama Bar. This restaurant not only serves delicious Japanese cuisine, but it also has a super-stylish and completely unique interior. Kichijoji Sun Tama Bar is so unlike others, as it’s interiors change with the seasons. In the spring, the pinks from the cherry blossoms that bloom throughout the country are emulated through stunning light displays in this restaurant. The same can be said for all other seasons, from the warm colours of Autumn to the snowflakes of winter. This restaurant is a brilliant, insta-worthy destination for those seeking a stylish dining experience. 

Barliminal Roppongi 

If it’s style you’re after, then a trip to Roppongi should definitely be on the itinerary. What Times Square is to New York, is what Roppongi is to Tokyo. Among the giant digitalised billboards, you will find pristine streets that are lined with some of the fanciest shops in the city. Displays of super high-tech gadgets sit alongside some of the most famous designer brands in the world. Here, you will find Barliminal Roppongi. This is perfect for those who are seeking a little change from Japanese cuisine, as Barliminal is a wonderful Italian Restaurant. This spectacular restaurant has projection mapping on all surfaces, meaning you’re never entirely sure what you will see, but beneath you, you will find beautiful water streams which make for a unique and very stylish dining experience in Tokyo. Although it is very different from the Shinagawa Hotel Restaurants, it is equally, but differently fashionable.
