I've just returned from the Pen Tokyo. They have shortened the opening hours of their restaurants, and are promoting power saving in other ways, but it wasn't really obtrusive.
I've stayed there several times, and as always, their service was excellent. They kindly upgraded my companion's room to a Grand Deluxe, and sent the Rolls to pick us up at NRT instead of the BMW. Great hotel.

For the convenience of all guests staying at the hotel, a Peninsula customized Rolls-Royce is available for complementary one-way transports within 2 km radius of the hotel...
Seems pretty clear it applies to all guests.

I don't think the Mini one does, which is what I was thinking of.

Power conservation rules end in a few weeks......anyway it has become cooler, and today the humidity is not quite so bad. Sad about the conservation rules ending......as the nuclear power plants are not coming back on line anytime soon. Watch for Super Hot Biz advertising to start by October!

If you're referring to the service between the Narita airport area and Tokyo, I believe the scheduled service has been canceled for some time. So it's not available to try anymore, only charters are available.

I knew that they had built a helicopter pad and lounge, but upon further reading it seems that they couldn't get the proper permission to actually operate the helicopter transportation service.

I ,like Nick, used Mori City Air Services through the PH Tokyo promo in january 2011 for 375 euros one way ( though expensive, who would refuse a helicopter ride when you're an "Inception" fan and it costs 30% less than limo transfer to NRT
) and flying out of Tokyo is impressive !

NCAS went out of business. You could fly them free if you flew ANA First to NRT. Then a 20 minute ride to the heliport by car, a wait of 10-20 minutes to leave the heliport, then 15 minutes in the helicopter, 10 minute transfer to a car and 15 minutes to the Pen. Fun but no great time saver.
