The Vibe Check: First Impressions & Rambling Thoughts
Alright, so I’m just back from Escape to Japan: Kyogaku Chai Room. "Escape to Japan" is right - I needed an escape after… well, let's just say my last vacation involved a rogue pigeon and a questionable street vendor. This place… it's trying to be zen. Like, really trying. And you know what? It mostly succeeds. But it's not perfect, and frankly, that's kinda what made it interesting.
First things first: Getting in. Easy peasy. Accessibility? They say it's accessible. The elevator is smooth, which is a huge plus. I didn’t need a wheelchair, thankfully, but I did note the ramps and general ease of navigation. They do have facilities for disabled guests, which is reassuring. You can see the effort being made, and that's worth a lot. Speaking of which, the exterior corridor is a vibe, which is cool.
Arrival & Room Realness
The check-in was… well, let’s just say it wasn’t the smoothest. Slightly curt staff. The contactless check-in/out is a nice touch, though. Saved me from needing more conversation. But hey, the 24-hour front desk is there if you need it.
My room (non-smoking, thank god) was… shiny. Seriously, the air conditioning was pumping, which was the first thing I appreciated. The air conditioning in public area was also great. Let me give you my room's rundown: Free Wi-Fi of course - a staple in modern life. The internet – wireless was fast enough to upload embarrassing TikToks. The internet access – LAN option is there too, for those of you still clinging to Ethernet cables. There's a laptop workspace, which I ignored completely because…vacation. And the desk was perfectly functional. The bed was an extra long bed which I’m always happy about, and the linens were divine. Seriously. Worth the price of admission. The blackout curtains were clutch. I’m talking a proper sleep in this place.
My thoughts: Bathtub was deep. The shower, perfect pressure. And the bathrobes? Plush enough to make me feel like royalty… briefly. But here’s the thing: this hotel is all about the details. The slippers were comfy. The complimentary tea was good. The mini bar had a decent selection (though I, alas, resisted). There was a hair dryer. And the mirror was a good size, which is crucial for those pre-dinner pep talks. In-room safe box? Check. Alarm clock? Check. Wake-up service? Check. Reading light? Check. Interconnecting room(s) available if you're travelling with a pack. They’ve thought of it all.
Sanitation Station
I've got to be honest, I'm still slightly germaphobe. The new normal has really had an impact. As for Cleanliness and safety: They're obsessed, thank goodness. The rooms sanitized between stays gives that crucial piece of mind. The Anti-viral cleaning products and of course, Daily disinfection in common areas are welcome. Hand sanitizer everywhere. Staff trained in safety protocol. They’ve got the whole shebang. Sanitized everything. Rooms sanitized between stays -- that's a win in my book..
The Spa - My Own Personal Heaven (and minor mishaps)
Okay, now for the part that truly sold me: the spa. Oh. My. God. The Spa, the Spa/sauna… It was a proper oasis. I spent about half my time there. First of all, let's talk Pool with view. Seriously. The infinity pool overlooked… well, I’m not sure what, exactly, but it was green and serene and utterly perfect.
Then I went to the sauna. And let me tell you, I lived. It was hot, steamy and good for my soul after the hellscape that is everyday life. I saw a Body scrub, which I'm getting next time. I definitely feel like I need a Body wrap too. Steamroom? Also excellent. The Massage? Divine. I opted for the deep tissue, and it almost brought tears to my eyes… in a good way. The therapist's name was Yumi, and she was a sorceress.
The thing that I will say about this whole experience? Well, I came out feeling like I could conquer the world. Then I walked straight into a pole outside. Hey, even goddesses make mistakes.
Eats, Drinks, and Generally Excellent Indulgence
Food? Let’s talk about it. Starting with the Breakfast [buffet]. It was… massive. Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, everything in between. And the International cuisine in restaurant was on point. The Coffee/tea in restaurant was reliably decent, a key factor in my happiness index. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was excellent, especially the ramen. The A la carte in restaurant option is available too, and the Vegetarian restaurant? Yes, they have one! I skipped it because I wanted more ramen, but it's a positive sign. The Buffet in restaurant was well-stocked which should cater to everyone. Soup in restaurant, yes. Desserts in restaurant, yes. Salad in restaurant, yes. Bottle of water? Always, and everywhere.
As far as drinking goes, the Bar was good, but the Poolside bar stole my heart. I sipped cocktails and pretended I was a movie star. The Happy hour was a delicious bonus. The Coffee shop was perfect to nip in to. The Room service [24-hour] was quick and efficient when I got the late-night munchies. The Snackbar was a bit underwhelming.
The Extras: Business, Leisure & Tiny Details
For those of you still chained to the real world, there’s a business center with audio-visual equipment for special events and meeting/banquet facilities. They even offer meetings and seminars (blech). There's something of a shrine, which I actually thought was beautiful and reflective.
Getting Around: the Airport transfer was smooth. Car park [free of charge] is amazing. They have a Car park [on-site] too. The Taxi service is readily available and the Valet parking is there if you need it, and if you dont mind handing over the keys.
For the Kids? They have a Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids facilities. Good on them.
The Annoying Stuff (Because Nothing's Perfect)
The biggest gripe? The prices. It's not a cheap vacation. But you do get what you pay for, I guess.
The Verdict: Book It (But Maybe Save Up First!)
So, should you book Escape to Japan: Kyogaku Chai Room? Yeah, absolutely. It's a splurge, yes. But it's a treat. The spa alone is worth it. The rooms are luxurious, and the staff, while a little stiff, will get you anything you need. The food is excellent. And the overall experience is… well, it's a genuine escape. I certainly needed it.

Escape to Paradise: Meister BAR HOTEL Fichtelgebirge Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. We're heading to the New Open! Kyogaku Chai Room in Japan. This isn't just a trip, it's… well, it's an adventure. And knowing me, it’ll be a slightly chaotic, deeply emotional, and potentially ramen-fueled adventure. Here's (a very loose) itinerary. Prepare for the real deal.
Day 1: Arrival and Panic! (or, "Where Did I Leave My Passport?")
- Morning (Probably Late): Okay, so the flight. Let's just say my packing skills are… selective. I’m pretty sure I triple-checked my passport. I’m almost positive. Cue the full-blown airport panic attack. Found it! (Under the weird, slightly damp, collection of old receipts that I'm sure I'll need later). The flight itself? A blur of airplane food that tasted strangely like sadness and a crying baby with an impressive set of lungs.
- Afternoon (After the train): Arrived, Japan! The air smells different here (fresh, clean, like… hope?). The train ride to the Kyogaku area was… intense. So many flashing lights. So many people who seem to know what they're doing. I, on the other hand? Navigating Japanese train systems while jetlagged is basically my personal level of hell. But I did it! Triumph! Wait, is my phone still working? Late afternoon: Finding a hotel, It was tiny. Like, really tiny. My luggage took up half the room. And the bathroom? Well, let's just say I'm pretty sure the shower was smaller than my shoe. But hey, at least there's air conditioning. And a toilet that's more technologically advanced than my car.
- Evening: My first attempt at finding ramen. A complete disaster. Got lost. Ordered the wrong thing (spicy, and I can't do spice! ) Ended up eating a convenience store onigiri (rice ball) on a park bench, watching a group of salarymen do karaoke. They sounded awful, but they seemed so happy. Made me think.
Day 2: Diving Headfirst into the Chai Room! (and Some Regrets)
- Morning: The real reason we're here: Kyogaku Chai Room! I'm determined to get it right this time! (I’m also determined not to get lost again, so I walked the route about five times yesterday). The place itself… Wow. It’s what I'd imagine heaven to be. A tranquil room, sunlight streaming in, the scent of incense, and chai. Real, proper, mind-blowing chai.
- Afternoon: I spent hours there. Hours. And it was… overwhelming. The different teas, the rituals, the history. So much to take in. I tried to keep up with the explanations but I kept get distracted by the way the light fell on the tea master's face. And honestly, I spilled chai down my front.
- Late Afternoon: Now I'm trying to do the same. (Which I'm calling day 2. 1.5). I'm attempting to make the tea. I'm not graceful. I burned my hand (minor, but still). I think I’ve ruined a batch. The tea master is being very polite about it.
- Evening: After a long moment of quiet contemplation (and a few more cups of chai, courtesy of the tea master), I went out searching for something more. Not more chai. More everything. In the evening I felt very lonely.
Day 3: Rambling and Reaching out.
- Morning: I woke up. I'm pretty sure my eyes where red. I went back to the tea room. I can't stop thinking about it. The simple act of pouring tea. Something just clicked, deep down.
- Afternoon: I sat in the tea room again, but instead of trying to be a pro, I just sat there, and took it all in. I began to feel a deep sense of calm. That was nice. That was good.
- Late Afternoon: I met a few people. I stumbled in to a small bookstore, and found a little note in Japanese. It really hit home. I started to feel, for the first time, like I was actually here.
- Evening: I went for a walk. I wanted to just take it all in. The city, the sounds, the smells. I almost stepped in poo. I felt almost connected.
Day 4: Double Down on the Chai (and Maybe Some Tears?)
- Morning: Okay, I'm officially addicted to the chai. I'm back at the Kyogaku Chai Room. I signed up for a longer lesson. Actually learned this time! I actually did it! I think I actually got it! I actually made good chai!
- Afternoon: (And the whole afternoon at the tea room). I decided to focus all day on the tea room. No other distractions. No planning. Just the room, the tea, and the moment. This seems so silly, but I swear, this little room gave me a strange new perspective.
- Evening: I'm sad. I got my own small pot and some tea to take home. No. Don't cry.
- Late Night: The tea room closes tomorrow. I don't want to leave. I don't want to go back.
Day 5: Goodbyes and "What Now?"
- Morning: The final tea ceremony. It was beautiful. It was profound. I'm not sure I understand half of it, but I felt it. We all sat there, in total peace. Before I left, the tea master gave me a small gift. A small, carved figure. I'll treasure it always.
- Afternoon: Train to the airport. Ugh, the journey back. Crowded, again. Lost my ticket, again. Almost missed my flight. Airport food made me sad.
- Evening (On the Plane): Looking out at the clouds. Thinking. The most beautiful thing about a memory, is that it's always there. I have to find my own tea room.
- Night: (Back Home): Jetlagged. Exhausted. And oddly peaceful. The Kyogaku Chai Room? It was more than just a trip. It was… a reset. And a whole lot of spilled chai.
And that's the (mostly) story. It's not perfect. Not clean. It's me. And that's enough. (For now, anyway.)
