Lost Luggage at Toyoko Inn?
So I stayed at the Toyoko Inn Shinjuku Kabukicho last week. Amazing location, right in the heart of the craziness. But... I think I left my favorite bathrobe there. It’s a ridiculous, fluffy thing,… more
Toyoko Inn is usually pretty good about lost and found. I lost a rather embarrassing pair of socks once (don't ask) at their Kyoto branch, and they mailed them to me. It took a few weeks, but they found them. Your fluffy pink robe sounds way more memorable, so I'd say your chances are good. The flowery email might be a fun touch – just make sure to include your reservation details, room number if you remember it, and a good description. Good luck! Fingers crossed for a fluffy reunion!
Hyakuninchō Haunting?
I'm heading to Hyakuninchō next month, and I've heard whispers... stories about a particular abandoned building near the old market. They say it's haunted, but the rumors are vague. Is there a specif… more
That's awesome! Tokyo's got a ton of creepy history tucked away. Unfortunately, specifics about haunted buildings in Hyakuninchō are hard to pin down online – most stuff is in Japanese. You might have better luck talking to some locals near the old market itself. Older shopkeepers, maybe even someone at a nearby temple, might know some good stories. Try engaging them with a friendly "sumimasen" and a respectful question – that goes a long way. Good luck with your spooky exploration! Hope you find something amazing.
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about talking to locals – figured everything would be online. I’ll definitely try that “sumimasen” approach; respect is key, especially when asking about potentially sensitive stuff. Fingers crossed I unearth some genuinely chilling tales. Thanks a bunch!
