I leave Saturday, arrive Sunday afternoon, thankfully I was able to snag 4 days at the Moxy for the same points I got 8 days for earlier in the year. I wasn't actually planning on taking this trip this year, but my other plans fell through, so I put it together with quickness, even taking an economy award flight coming back to the US on the 2nd.
Lucky you on the Prince Sakura though, one of my favorite hotels. Stayed there in 2018, couldn't beat the location to Shinagawa station.
Even though she's staying at the Livemax Kanda-mae because it's close to her Tokyo office, there's a lot to eat and do around there. She's had lots of sushi and ramen, and has gone shopping near the Mitsukoshi (about a 6-min walk). The closest station is Kanda, just 250 meters or a 4-minute walk. Hotel is clean and fully functional, just small.
Looking forward to the Prince Sakura - I booked about 2 months ago for 35000 yen for a triple. I'm a little bit wary because reviews about the lounge have been pretty negative lately.
I'll be one day after you - leaving LA Sunday and arriving in Tokyo Monday. Managed to get (very expensive) United mileage tickets in J a couple of months ago.
