It has very spacious rooms and the hotel is conveniently situated atop many metro lines so traveling in the city is pretty easy. You’ll have a wonderful time there.
If you decide to buy a Grand Seiko don’t forget that atop the 10% tax free there is a 5% tourist discount in Mitsukoshi & Isetan with a guest card, you can claim the card directly in those stores. The tax free is done on the spot and no need to go to the airport to claim it etc. They have other watches too of course, I remember seeing a wonderful Habring.
For the reservations to restaurants you’ll need the hotel reception, tell them when and where and they’ll take care of the reservations.
There are also many very high end restaurants in omakase dot in , you can just get a membership on that site and make reservations directly to restaurants you fancy going.
Enjoy!

Before boarding the Shinkansen for Kyoto get your bento box from the basement floor of Daimaru mall at the train station to have a nice feast in the train. There is an unbelievable array of food in basement stores of malls, and unlike European malls, thes...

but I have read 'The Temple of the Golden Pavilion' and I have visited Japan! My suggestion would be to stay in radically different kinds of swanky places in the two cities: in Tokyo a high-rise city view hotel in like the Park Hyatt or the Andaz (where I...
