点评:Whenever I visit Japan from the U.S., my go-to solution for overcoming jet lag is spending the first night at Spa LaQua. Here's my tried-and-true routine:
Why Spa LaQua?
• Staying overnight comes with an additional fee if you stay beyond 1 a.m., but it’s worth it.
• The on-site restaurant serves delicious Japanese dishes and other popular options.
• The shared resting area, while not private, is surprisingly more comfortable than a business-class flight seat.
• Massage services are available almost all night, and the prices are very reasonable.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Arrival
o Land at Haneda Airport and get a JR Pass. The counter is near Tokyo Monorail entrance.
2. Travel to Tokyo Station
Take the Tokyo Monorail and transfer to the Yamanote Line (use your JR Pass).
Store large luggage in a coin locker at Tokyo Station.
3. Reach Spa LaQua
Take the Marunouchi Line Subway to the spa (note: the JR Pass isn’t valid for this ride).
Arrive by 9 p.m. to enjoy a meal before the restaurant’s last order.
4. Prepare for Relaxation
Change into the spa attire provided.
Book a massage session.
5. Relax and Recharge
Unwind in the spa facilities to warm up and relax.
It is more effective to warm up the body before massage.
Enjoy your scheduled massage.
If desired, return to the spa for additional relaxation.
6. Rest and Sleep
Secure a spot in the resting area early to ensure you get a good place.
7. Morning Routine
Wake up early and, if desired, take another dip in the spa.
Bring your computer to the working area to check E-mails and finalize your trip plans.
Leave Spa LaQua before 9 a.m..
8. Breakfast
Eat breakfast at the nearby Starbucks, which I personally find better than the ones in the U.S.
Why It Works
This routine helps me adjust to the new time zone while spending less than what I would on a hotel in the same area—massage included! After following this plan, I feel refreshed and ready to explore Japan.
翻译:每当我从美国前往日本时,我克服时差的首选方法是在 Spa LaQua 度过第一晚。以下是我久经考验的惯例:
为什么选择 Spa LaQua?
• 如果您在凌晨 1 点之后过夜,则需要支付额外费用,但这是值得的。
• 酒店内的餐厅供应美味的日本料理和其他受欢迎的菜肴。
• 共享休息区虽然不私密,但比商务舱座位舒适得多。
• 按摩服务几乎整晚都提供,而且价格非常合理。
