Hoshinoya Tokyo Review

There’s no flashy sign to announce you’ve arrived. In fact, you’ll only recognize this low-key and exclusive Japanese inn, surrounded by office high-rises in Otemachi, by paying attention to Hoshinoya’s subtle details, such as the metal lattice of kimono patterns decorating its exterior walls or the wavy, stone-patterned walkway leading to its discretely hidden back entrance. Opened in July 2016, Hoshinoya Tokyo is located in the center of Japan’s capital near Tokyo Station, and yet it’s worlds apart, offering tranquility and superb hospitality in the tradition of an exclusive ryokan (Japanese inn), most of which have sadly all but disappeared from Japan’s bustling capital.

Stanley, Hong Kong

I can’t keep track of how many times I’ve been to Hong Kong over the past 30 years, but I always make a point of spending at least half a day in Stanley. In fact, compared to bustling Central or Kowloon, going to Stanley is like taking a mini vacation. First, there’s the roller-coaster bus ride in a double-decker from Central that careens around curves and zips over hills on its 30-minute journey, providing tantalizing views of the South China Sea along the way. Although bargain shopping makes my heart beat faster, a leisurely meal is also always in the picture.
