Japan is soo convenient. They had PJ’s for you to wear only if you’re sized US XL and down which is okay. They had necessities for you to use if you did not pack any example tooth brush, shaver, etc. we got to experience the breakfast there, it was very authentic. Also the room was a perfect size ...
