gosh, it feels really great being taken care of. from my arrival at the train station, to my check in experience, to my room, to the pool, and to everything that happens at Amanemu. the staff is amazing and offer the best service in the world.

when i’m in the best hands like this, i sit back and observe every single detail. then i process everything and think how i can better myself. so when i go back to hawaii, i can give everybody the best experience too.

i’ve never been in a hotel like this in japan before. to tell you the truth, i didn’t even know a perfect room like this even exists. right when i walked into it, i felt like a king.

then it’s dinner time, so Inaida-san takes me to his secret deepest spot in japan. locally grown food cooked to the best. it’s called Nonchan! i love places like this because this shows me the true authentic japanese cooking. just like how my grandma use to do it.

it was so great to see Inaida-san and Yuki-san. we always have so much fun together. and always laughing so hard. and laughed even harder when Nonchan came out from behind the counter for the photo. haha!

gosh, this room is amazing! a private onsen overlooking mother nature. i jumped into the onsen 5 times! and gosh, my skin feels so smooth!

bedtime. i can’t read japanese but i’m sure this is a great message from a great hotel. my Aman experience has come to an end but i’m hoping to come back.
thank you Inaida-san for this wonderful Aman experience! great to see you and Yuki-san so healthy and happy. i always envy your wonderful dream life.
