Toyoko Inn

We stayed at the Toyoko Inn for the duration of our travels in Japan. We got a huge discount because we stayed for long periods (ewww) at a time. We also joined the Toyoko Inn Member Club and got free towels when we went to different hotels.

For the month of Dec/Jan, they were playing the two most critically acclaimed movies of 2008: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as well as the epic science fiction fantasy Charlie Wilson’s War. And although we had seen them about 100 times each, whenever they weren’t playing, we would get pissed.

They also gave out a complimentary breakfast every morning, which consisted of miso soup and rice balls. Ryoko never missed a meal.
