LOST IN TRANS-LIFT CHANGE.

Although we weren't huge fans of the film Lost in Translation, we decided that as well as visiting it's film location, the Park Hyatt provided a great view for some pics of the Tokyo skyline.

Even when we arrived at the main entrance it was still a mission to get to the bar on the 52nd floor. We had to search around a poorly sign posted building for lift 1, go up to floor 49, then walk across the building again to find the 2nd lift to the top (bit pants).

When we arrived at the bar, 52 floors up, we couldn't help feeling that it looked a heck of a lot smaller than on film. All in all it was a nice place, good atmosphere and as always in Japan, friendly staff. Drinks a bit pricey though but it was worth it for the view. Oh and if you decide to chance one of the free snacks please be forewarned that some of them taste of a pretty strong mustard.

On the way out, the Hyatt proved how clean they keep their floor to roof mirrors as Bobbi nearly walked into one, thinking it was a corridor.
