The Arashiyama area of Kyoto is a must visit area and the SPG resort Kyo Suiran is a super convenient place to stay and super close walk to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forrest. Just bear in mind the area is dead at night, with no restaurants open except at hotels, either plan on eating in the hotel or travel about 30-40 min into Kyoto.

Nice stay at this Onsen. Very quiet, relaxing and great outdoor Rotenburo natural springs. Very large Onsen area, so never feel Crowded. Included breakfast and dinner. ... Tip: Eat dinner early then go to the outdoor hot springs and you will have it all to yourself.

Great two flights from Narita to Dubai and then on to Frankfurt, both on the A380 double decker. First time using the newer dedicated Emirates lounge at Narita, which was a very nice lounge. Boarding super smooth, orderly and fast in Narita. ... Dom Perignon 2009 on all flights and also Hennessy Paradis cognac and good wine selection. Great catering, especially with Caviar and great service onboard. Comfortable seats, enclosed suite and much quieter cabin, as well as chauffeur driven car service on arrival in Frankfurt (no service at Narita, only Haneda). Love flying Emirates, but they could improve the boarding process in Dubai and ground handling (like what Thai does in Bangkok and even Tokyo and Frankfurt). Still with flying Emirates, mainly for the enclosed suite and seat. Will be flying Asiana A380 Suite and Korean 747-8 Suite within a week, so will be posting those soon. #emiratesfirstclass #emiratesfirstsuite #emiratesfirstclasssuite

Review of the Frankfurt First Class Terminal and Flight. Had the opportunity to change from the Air China flight to Lufthansa for the direct flight from FRA to HND (Tokyo Haneda). Checked in at the First Class Terminal, which is a whole Terminal and lounge just for Lufthansa First Class International Longhaul guests. The great part is that you just hand them your passport and they take care of the rest. ... The Personal Assistant takes you through their security (absolutely no lines) and then into the huge lounge, just steps away. You can sleep in one of the sleeping rooms, shower, soak in the bathtub, eat in the restaurant (order whatever you want), and they have an awesome bar with I think 50 different Whiskeys from around the world. When it's time to board, the assistant comes to get you, take you downstairs to formally depart the EU (no need to leave the FCT) and then driven to the plane in a Porsche or Mercedes. You then get taken up an elevator and straight into the plane, with no waiting whatsoever and handed to the Purser in First. Only 8 seats up front and 3 were empty, so exceptional service from German and Japanese flight attendants. Will repeat.
