Hawaii To Tokyo!: Grocery Store Extravaganza!

The Shin Yokohama Prince Hotel offers many cute shops that sell clothes, accessories and Japanese pastries. There are also restaurants, a hair salon and a spa found within the hotel. The Prince website does not go into detail in describing what can be found in the hotel so we were pleasantly surprised to discover these stores and services nearby.

On the first morning we quickly learned that most businesses in Tokyo do not open until 10:00am. Some stores and tourist areas open at 11:00am. This was a challenge being that we were waking up at 4am the first couple of days due to the time change.

As we were walking through the shopping area of the Prince Hotel one day we saw an escalator going downstairs so we hopped on. We were excited to find a giant busy grocery store. This would be our first lucky find as we were beginning to learn that the best food places are in the basement!
