I have just stumbled across your thread whilst surfing the net. I'm off to Japan in April 2009 with my wife to celebrate our silver wedding

and we are lucky enough to be staying at Ginyu. I have read nothing but praise for the place and was so lucky to get booked up for our last two nights in Japan - hopefully a relaxing end to a very busy schedule (15 days)
Having decided that this will be such a special occasion we are able to splurge a bit and are also staying in :-

It will be worth it for a special lady!
Have fun. Hope we all have a good time no matter where we stay
