✈️ After 12 Years of Flying to Japan, Here’s My Honest Airline Review! 🇯🇵 💺 JAPAN AIRLINES (JAL) • Best Japanese meals in the sky 🍱 • Sleek seats (even in 2-2-2 business class config). • BUT… Narita Airport = longer trip to Tokyo $$$ taxi fare (30k yen). Choose if you can ride a shuttle bus to your hotel or any stops nearby 🌏 SINGAPORE AIRLINES (SQ) • Best seats ever! 1-2-1 spacious business class 😍 • Book the Cook gives you endless meal options 🍽️ • Le Labo amenities 🧴, fast Wi-Fi. Rizz✅ • Downside? Long transit in Singapore = longer door-to-door travel time 🛫 ALL NIPPON AIRWAYS (ANA) • My go-to for direct flights to Haneda. • Best timing & shortest route! • BUT food is meh, and lots of older planes lately. If you’re lucky, you can get new one with 1-2-1 configuration🤞 🇮🇩 GARUDA INDONESIA • Direct to Haneda, best flight time too. • Better food than ANA, but Wi-Fi is sloooow, to the point impossible to use 🐌 • New planes are in 1-2-1 configurations, but old planes sneak in sometimes. ✨ BONUS: Care about your ✨toilet business✨? Only JAL & ANA have bidets onboard—true Japanese omotenashi!😭 My Picks: • Rushed trips? ANA or Garuda for shorter travel time and Haneda’s city convenience. • Feeling fancy? JAL for omotenashi (but beware of that Narita taxi fare 💸 ~30,000 yen). • Holiday mode? SQ all the way for the ultimate flying experience and luxurious comfort.

It’s not everyday that I review 4* hotels but this one definitely hits everything right 🩷 ✅ Direct Shuttle Bus from/to Haneda and Narita ✅ Tokyo Tower view from the lobby ✅ Ginza area – walking distance to shopping district ✅ Clean, premium, comfortable room ✅ Lawson and DonKi right in front of the hotel ✅ Premium bathroom experience from ReFa and Mikimoto The hotel is Mitsui Garden Ginza Premier Hotel, and I booked it via Klook for around 3-4jt per night. You cant find any hotel at this price with this much of benefits in Tokyo 🗼 If you want additional discount for any booking of hotel / experience at Klook, use my code GULALEEKLOOK on checkout 😜 Save and share this video for future travel ✈️✈️✈️
Jadi ceritanya… Pertama kali merasakan real matcha di Jepang yakni di Kyoto tahun 2013. Jujur aku bukan pecinta teh atau matcha, tapi karena bolak balik Jepang terus akhirnya beberapa kali ada kesempatan untuk ikut kelas minum teh dan mencoba membuat matcha sendiri 🍵 Japanese being so kind and polite, mereka selalu memuji tourists “jouzuuuu!!” Yang artinya kamu hebat, padahal mah ya biasa aja 😂 Tapi berbekal selalu disebut sebut hebat, akhirnya aku mencoba rutin untuk ikut kelas upacara minum teh / sadou / 茶道 yang merupakan salah satu aliran budaya tradisional di Jepang 🇯🇵 Selain itu aku selalu kagum dengan perempuan perempuan Jepang yang posturnya cantik, elegan, dan juga classy dalam berjalan, menuang air, sampai membuat matcha. There’s a beauty in their movement, thats why it’s called an art 👘 Aku belajar akhirnya sekitar 2018 akhir dan jujur sulit sekali karena bukan hanya sekedar mengocok matcha dengan air. Baik dari langkah kaki yang masuk, postur duduk, tangan kiri mengambil A dan tangan kanan yang mengambil B, seluruh step dalam upacara tradisional, jenis jenis upacaranya, sampai menahan sakit ketika duduk Seiza ala Jepang selama 1 jam dalam upacara 🧎🏻♀️➡️ Sebelum Covid, finally aku berhasil mendapatkan sertifikat dasar dari aliran Omotesenke 🥹 Tapi sayang sekali karena Covid akhirnya harus kembali ke Indonesia dan tidak bisa belajar se intense dulu. Sekarang setiap ke Jepang, pasti aku menyisihkan waktu untuk mengikuti kelas teh agar tidak lupa prosesinya. It’s definitely one of the best lessons I have ever had in my life. It taught me how to be calm, polite, and put the others before myself 🩷 Would you like to try this with me next time? ✨
There are so many great restaurants to recommend in Tokyo besides sushi and yakiniku, so here I am sharing with you another luxurious Japanese fish called NODOGURO のどぐろ that’s often called The White Tuna or The White Wagyu 🍣 Nodoguro is a prized delicacy that’s hard to find outside of Japan. Its tender meat melts in your mouth, offering a perfect balance of umami and sweetness. This seasonal fish is usually charcoal-grilled or served as sushi, allowing its natural oils to shine but at this restaurant, you can eat it in many other ways such as shabu shabu or cooked with rice 🍚 The restaurant is @nakamatakiwami and the one that I visited was in Ginza. Do save this recommendation and thank me later 🩷
