    It's interesting how these sleek modern Japanese interiors and exteriors remind me of nordic interiors in Europe (Finnish, Swedish).

    It looks like you can hide the flat screen tv behind that beautiful wood screen. I think that is one of the best features of the room as is the exquisite wood work and natural materials. In Vegas, you are surrounded by glass, wallpaper and too much artificial light. The bathroom is also excellent. At first I did not realize that it is not a mirror but two sinks facing each other!

    No other service experience can match Japan's. I once stayed in a 5 star hotel in New York. And after my 5 night stay I received a questionnaire as to how the service was. I replied, I'd get better service from a 3 star hotel in Japan. Having lived in Japan for 8 years, I know this to be true. Cannot compete with culture. My only advice for people who enjoy these services, make sure you let the service providers know. It's what makes the world go around.

    Thank you for this nice video, true inspiration !
    I've read you ranking of the best hotel in Amsterdam where I will go in two weeks. We'll try the Sofitel. And then the Langham in Boston, and the Rosewood in London (once more, thanks to your video ;)

The combination of black and beige is predominant and kind of lends a minimalist feel to the place . A room with a sea view. Fabulous. I like the way oriental music crept in towards the end. The pastime I look forward to with eagerness. You guessed right. Watching your vlogs.

Pardon me for my taste but sometimes I see that they are being "too natural" .... until I saw this ^^. The ambiance of Amanemu brings a lot of peaceful vibe, I can really see Japanese influence in the whole theme of the property, which I can always respect about.
