More than a capsule hotel, downtown Tokyo capsule ryokan is awesome, budget-friendly spot to stay - SoraNews24

Image
We've got a new champion when it comes to Tokyo capsule hotels in this price range . Generally speaking, travelers in Japan don't stay at capsule hotels for the ambiance, since instead of a full guestroom, you just get a sleeping bunk, slotted into a wall and open at the end. The rest of the amenities are usually pretty bare-bones too, with the upside being much lower prices than you'd pay for a room in a conventional hotel, and often with a location right in the middle of a big city. But we recently stumbled across a capsule hotel with a great location in central Tokyo that also has an elegant, relaxing atmosphere, because it's more like a capsule version of a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn . From out on the street, we wouldn't have known what a treat we were in for. Though it's located just a two-minute walk from the Akasaka-mitsuke subway station , a fashionable part of downtown less than 15 minutes by rail from the Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Roppon...

Are Hotels Still Open During COVID-19? - Forbes

Image
With few people traveling, are hotels still open while the world quarantines? Many hotels are maintaining a barebones staff for first responders, family members visiting loved ones and truck drivers. However, not every hotel is open during this time. Like the airlines cutting capacity up to 90%, hotel occupancy rates are a fraction of what they usually are. Hotel brands contemplate closures on a week-to-week basis. Thankfully, most brands have free cancellations (even on non-refundable bookings) if you must cancel at the last minute. Hotel Resorts The hotels least likely to be open are resorts and upscale properties. These locations primarily cater to tourists, including Disney, Hawaii's Waikiki resort area and likely even the local waterpark resort nearest you are closed for the rest of April, though this may be extended. Until theme parks and major tourist zones resume operations, you will likely need to stay in a budget or mid-tier property. You should check the ...

Ken Westbury obituary - The Guardian

Image
Pennies from Heaven, Dennis Potter's groundbreaking 1978 television series about a travelling sheet music-seller of the 1930s, featured Bob Hoskins in daydreaming scenes where he lip-synced to popular songs of the time. Ken Westbury's cinematography, particularly his use of light, was instrumental in giving those sequences a surreal, dreamlike quality that provided the fantasy element into which the drama – and the character – could escape from reality. Westbury, who has died of skin cancer aged 96, became a film camera operator and director of photography in television after a grounding in cinema at Ealing Studios on classic comedies such as Whisky Galore! and Kind Hearts and Coronets (both 1949). Over 40 years, mostly with the BBC, he switched from the police series Z Cars (from 1962 to 1964) and period pieces including The Forsyte Saga (1967) to sci-fi, filming for four different Doctor Who adventures between 1966 and 1978. When he worked with Potter again on The Singing Det...
