I would definitely e-mail the HHonors manager at the Tokyo Hilton prior to your arrival, and politely request an upgrade.

RTWSTARALLIANCE, do you have a different e-mail address I should contact? (I e-mailed you but got no reply.)

Also, here is the Hilton Tokyo Japanese Web Site I found it has some intesting items such as the shuttle bus schedule and the Narita limousine bus schedule as well.

Kathy, I just e-mailed this info to you but saw others with the same problem so decided to just post this e-mail address.
The general manager Thomas Hoeborn's e-mail is [email protected] and he should direct someone to take care of your request. I'm surprised that Mr. Koriki the HHonors manager didn't answer. He was great when I was in contact with him last year. Of course, he may not be there now or something.
Anyway, hope this helps. If all else fails you can try [email protected].

Re: the point about charging the airport bus to your hotel folio so that you can get HHonors points - doesn't work, at least didn't for me. In December I was there and asked the hotel to charge the fare to my hotel folio - they said that they could not do that and would only accept cash, explaining that they were collecting the fare on behalf of the bus service. I told them that the Hyatt will allow you to charge (though, as a side note, you don't get Gold Passport points). Still no luck. If you/anyone has a different experience, I would love to know, as I plan to return in the near future.

Sorry that my post was ambiguous -- I actually meant I had contacted RTWSTARALLIANCE by e-mail and not received an answer!
Have not yet contacted the Tokyo Hilton, but will do so very soon.

Kathy. Sorry about that. I did respond to your first e-mail a couple days ago. I just sent another one with the e-mail address you require. Request a room facing the lights of Shinjuku. The night view is wonderful. Regards

RTWSTARALLIANCE, thanks.
I wonder why e-mail has become so unreliable. Could it be that spam filters (such as AOL's) are rejecting a lot of mail that is NOT spam?

I know it is a known problem with certain filters. I sent a e-mail to a associate who "never" got it. It almost cost him some $ now he has adjusted his filters to receive my e-mail. Have no idea since 99% of people have no problem getting my e-mail. See you in Tokyo along with Mike.

I contacted both hotels by e-mail. I got responses from both stating that I will be upgraded to the executive floor, though it seems there is some wiggle room in there. One e-mail says "the upgrade is always a matter of availability at the time of check-in" and the other says "we are anticipating a full house during your stay," so I suppose it's possible I won't actually get the executive floor.
But I've done what I can and I have copies of the e-mails to show to the check-in clerks if they should try to tell me that award stays don't get upgrades or some such.

As a followup, I was indeed upgraded to the executive floor at both the Hilton Tokyo and Hilton Osaka on my GLON award stays.
I enjoyed both stays very much. A few additional (positive) comments about the Hilton Osaka here.
