Day in the Life of a Japanese Hotel Worker

A Day in the life of a Japanese Hotel Worker in Tokyo. This is working life in Japan if you were to work in the hotel industry. In Japan, there’s a unique hospitality custom called OMOTENASHI. Directly translated, Omote meaning public face and nashi meaning nothing, combined it means services are always completely genuine and honest. Because it’s so deeply rooted in Japanese culture, the staff make extra efforts to provide guests with the best experience possible without expecting anything in return. We follow Yohei's work day in Tokyo from morning until evening .Yohei works as the assistant manager at APA hotel Shinjuku Gyoenmae. APA is one of the largest hotel chains in japan. APA hotel uniquely identify as a New Urban style hotel high Quality, High Functionally without all the unnecessary services providing all guests with a good night’s sleep, often mistaken as a Japanese business hotel, which are typically budget style hotels close to the train station, originally intended for Japanese salarymen traveling between cities for business. Often the rooms are smaller with bare amenities, single bed, desk, tv, refrigerator, unit bath and toilet. In Japan, tipping is not customary and in some ways can be awkward as it’s unexpected. It’s ingrained in Japanese culture to take pride in your work no matter at what level, so receiving a tip as an incentive to delivery the best service is viewed as unnecessary, all tying back to Omotenashi.

Gents Scents : Everyone in Japan - same alarm sound
Stan L : After all these “in the day of…” videos, it seems that it doesn’t matter what your job is in Japan, you receive respect in whatever you do.
Shnbs 89 : It’s like these people don’t live on the same planet ...... amazing culture I work at Frankfurt airport and we come across Japanese passengers and crew everyday and the level of politeness, organizing and cleanliness is just awe-inspiring!
dimegoat : Once, unaware of the fact that tipping is "forbidden" in Japan, I discreetly tipped a bartender for providing me free internet and...the poor guy ran after me in the street to give my tip back :D

APA Hotel & Resort in Ryogoku Tokyo Japan


@vincedelapena : This video walkthrough showing the hotel is useless if you don’t show the guest rooms.

2019東京自由行 #第3章節
每間飯店都有它的優缺點，祝大家找到適合自己的飯店

APA的分店很多，礙於這次的預算所以找了APA在馬喰橫山站的『馬喰町駅北』分館

地段不是最好的還可以接受(跟價錢比起來，算有成正比)
附近有JR、地鐵、7-11、全家便利超商，生活機能算不錯

Ka Po Ng : 我2月去東京的時候，就住你們前一點(在大馬路)那家。我覺得以連鎖酒店來是不錯的!就是房間小了一點，其他配置都很好!XD
AIKARA YANG : 如果選擇淺草橋附近住宿的話.交通會更方便.淺草橋站附近有好吃的甜點的店.但是只有每星期4才有開店.8-9月還放2個月的暑修
