  • What is this?

  • This is like the best hotel room in the world.

  • So this week I turned 32 years old.

  • Yeah, and for my birthday present, I went deaf in my right ear, I perforated my ear drum.

  • It's been a pretty rough week to be honest.

  • So imagine my excitement when my best American friend or second best American friend Alex in Tokyo who works in real estate, offered to give me a birthday surprise to cheer me up.

  • Something amazing because he works in real estate, maybe he's bought me a flat or an apartment, fingers crossed, it's time to go and find out what he's got lined up.

  • Good afternoon Alex, I hear you have had a really bad week, I've had a rough week right here and I just broke this morning, my favorite glass.

  • So whatever you've got lined up, I hope it's bloody spectacular.

  • I have the best thing in the world for you because I know what your favorite thing is.

  • Money, no fish.

  • And there is a fishery right behind this and we have a private tour lined up for you.

  • You ready for this?

  • Are you having a laugh?

  • No, you don't want a fishery fishery?

  • I'm really glad I came to tell you.

  • Don't worry, don't worry, we really have something else for you right over here right over here.

  • This is a building from 1975, Okay, and the entire second floor is completely renovated to become an amazing private oasis in the center of Tokyo.

  • It looks a bit like the dragon capsule tower was built around the same time.

  • Exactly.

  • And unlike the dragon capsule tower, it's still here.

  • Is it a hotel?

  • It is kind of a hotel.

  • It is a private resort is using the serious business Speak.

  • It must be good.

  • Okay, Alex, show me what you've got.

  • Let's go take a look, give me some.

  • Yeah, we're on the second floor.

  • You ready to see this?

  • It's ridiculously dark in.

  • It is three o'clock in the afternoon.

  • I feel like I've broken into someone's house.

  • I know, I know, but you smell that you smell that I smell something very nice.

  • Yes, there is in a massive diffuser right behind you.

  • I've never seen something like this in my life.

  • It's probably a gallon that is the diffuser to end all diffuser with like 20 reads coming out from the top.

  • It's crazy.

  • The diffuser that Thanos has in his house and then you've got like a dimly lit door.

  • Why is it so dimly lit?

  • Are you going to kill me?

  • Just my birthday gift being shot in the dark.

  • That's the next one.

  • So you just put in the pin code right here?

  • That's not working here.

  • What?

  • Yes.

  • Just like that.

  • You open up and we're inside.

  • Yes, she's big.

  • This is really big.

  • Are you having a laugh.

  • What is this?

  • This is like the best hotel room in the world.

  • What is this like a fire over there?

  • In the distance, Turkish bar, what can only be described as a forest.

  • How is this in the building when we're outside earlier?

  • It's just like a flat building with windows.

  • I don't even know this is like defied the laws of physics.

  • Million dollars just to build this entire room.

  • Isn't that crazy?

  • Well you can see where the money is gone, That's who you really quit blood.

  • And it's got the magic words you want to see in any like penthouse suite.

  • Take free.

  • All of this is free.

  • Even the amazon.

  • Yes, somebody has certainly had some fun here.

  • The Bombay sapphire's gone.

  • You know like when you go to most hotels, you get a little tiny baby bottle, like Bombay sapphire here, get the whole thing, It doesn't even have the peach juice inside.

  • That bottle is going to be completely finished by the end of the night.

  • I can tell you right now.

  • So let's start with the kitchen.

  • Okay, come on over in the kitchen.

  • So we have a very spacious kitchen for any japanese apartments or anything, but I want you to open up this fridge.

  • Oh, everything in here is for you.

  • Everything in here is completely complimentary on a scale of one to well stocked fridge and even in here with ramen, that would be great if I could curse.

  • Does it come with a chef?

  • It comes with this.

  • Well, yes, there is actually a sushi chef coming tonight just for you.

  • Alright.

  • Alright, we're off to a good start.

  • Even press press so leaving the massive kitchen and all the ridiculous amounts of sake behind.

  • Yes.

  • And we have this beautiful custom made dining room table with something on here that I've never seen anywhere else.

  • Beautiful feature.

  • We have iphone and USB C.

  • Chargers on here.

  • Perfect.

  • You can, you can charge your phone watch abroad in Japan while resting and dining at this massive opulent table with a very swanky light above them.

  • Yes.

  • And once you're done charging and watching all of your favorite videos, you can sing some karaoke.

  • There is a karaoke machine right over here And a fantastically elaborate piece of work.

  • $2 million.

  • Well spent.

  • Do you know what is this significance?

  • Do you know this?

  • What is it just nice.

  • Nice.

  • Let's go with that.

  • All right over here we have the really nicely kitted out like sitting room.

  • These pillows, they just look decadent rich.

  • I have to say, you know when you're paying $2 million to renovate a place you got to put as much stuffing in the pill as possible.

  • They offer it.

  • Well, stuff.

  • Yes, but is it comfortable?

  • Yes it is.

  • Look at this just the view right sitting here with like a jungle in front of you and we're in the middle of Tokyo.

  • Yeah, this is bonkers.

  • It is crazy.

  • Right?

  • So just to become a member of this place, just in order to stay here, you have to pay $30,000 as an entrance fee.

  • Right?

  • And then there's another $9,000 a year membership fee.

  • Yeah.

  • And then you get with that 12 nights staying here per year.

  • So what's $39,000 divided by 12.

  • Come on, maths.

  • $3000.

  • Okay, so it's basically, am I right about that?

  • He's the best real estate agent.

  • I'm not gonna pretend like I know I was $3000 a night actually.

  • So that basically puts you on par with one of the best hotel rooms.

  • Yeah, it's actually cheaper.

  • It's cheaper per night than a presidential suite at any major hotel here.

  • Kind of checked out.

  • Yeah it does.

  • It does.

  • But you have to stay here 12 nights a year.

  • But this is, I mean this is better than any hotel room I've ever seen and we still haven't seen half the room.

  • Which way should we go then?

  • Should we go jungle or Turkish bathhouse adventure?

  • This is absolutely ridiculous.

  • I feel like I, the water is real, it's incredible.

  • It's real, it's cold.

  • It's cold.

  • Why do you think this is cold?

  • Uh They couldn't pay the heating bill close.

  • They actually have a really big heating bill because over here is your son.

  • Right, wow.

  • Yeah, wow.

  • It's an actual sauna.

  • Oh my God, are you having a laugh.

  • A sauna 85 degrees Celsius.

  • Right now there's a bath here a sauna here.

  • Another bath outside there's like a stream, I can hear out the window.

  • This is like an adventure in itself.

  • Opulence.

  • To set the next journey across japan in this bloody room alone.

  • Nice big shower.

  • Yes.

  • So you have your cold pool right over here, Right?

  • And this is for after you've gone into the sauna to sweat and got everything out of you.

  • You need to cool down right after that.

  • You come over here and you take it, you don't do that right now.

  • Just put your hand in here.

  • It's very hot.

  • This is a, it's like a proper full on.

  • Its massive as well.

  • Absolutely.

  • You can put all of trash taste in here.

  • It's massive.

  • And you and even me remember and you put this right over here, you have some nice water effects water.

  • Yes, water coming out of the tap.

  • It is really nice.

  • You can sit here, you can have your agent on it and plan to take over the world and you can do it all while looking at a real actual fire, which I thought was a video when we walked in, right?

  • I saw this in the distance.

  • I just assumed it was like a video screen fire burn your fingers are fantastic.

  • And then you know, they thought of everything here.

  • You've got your sort of, your plunge pool, your hot spring pool, your fire.

  • The only thing that can make it better would be.

  • And they've got that as well, gold plated.

  • They really have thought of everything.

  • Straight from Germany how these Here.

  • This is like, it's actually plumb.

  • That sounds good.

  • Yeah, there's a little barbecue here for heating your charcoal.

  • This is really nice.

  • Yes.

  • God, you could easily spend a weekend and like write a book except you wouldn't, would you just get drunk and 12 days.

  • The best way to write a book and you can do it all in the comfort of your very own jungle area.

  • Look at this!

  • This is, this is insane.

  • So we've gone from the best room in Tokyo a glorified oasis.

  • This is you just don't get this in Tokyo.

  • No, it's the best balcony of any hotel in Tokyo.

  • You really got a balcony to begin with and nothing like this.

  • It's got like a four tier water feature, a forest, yes, like real plants and of course you have your outdoor seating here for laying around and lounging and also an actual table over here.

  • I would love it.

  • Not one but two ashtrays ashtrays, it wouldn't be enough.

  • And then over here we haven't seen a bedroom yet.

  • I'm assuming this isn't the bed, this is not the bed, but you're welcome to sleep here.

  • Take a seat.

  • Sit here in my hammock on a slightly better weather day.

  • You could rest in the hammock, you could have the barbecue, that's a full size weber.

  • You don't really see those in Japan to begin with.

  • I've been really lucky to go to some crazy places in Tokyo, Japan apartments, hotels.

  • This place is on another level, but I've never seen anything quite like it.

  • I think because they're trying to make it have that sort of homely feel that caters for everything you could want, absolutely packed in everything.

  • You know the hammock barbecue, the, she shed the plunge pool, the onset, the free bar and also at the end of it, you have to remember that we're in the middle of the city, those buildings all around you.

  • But it feels like we're in the country.

  • It's crazy.

  • I don't know what the best thing is that we've seen so far.

  • Probably the free bar.

  • All right, come on, I'm gonna stumble out of this hammock.

  • Let's go and check out this bedroom because I realized we've only seen half the bloody from safe.

  • Oh my God, into the bedroom with not one but two king size mega beds.

  • So you can roll around all night long.

  • Why are there two Alex?

  • Well this is the rumpus room as also called the master bedroom and you know, it's strange every single hotel in Japan that has one king size bed actually has two king sized beds.

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • Why is that?

  • What's going on?

  • It's because Japanese couples generally don't like sleeping in the same bed.

  • And why is that?

  • I am not a therapist.

  • I am a real estate agent so big, you could like land an airplane and a helicopter and you can do it all while watching a flaw in Japan on this mega massive LCD screen, huge all in all an incredible bedroom.

  • But let's face it, if you come to a mega penthouse like this, this is the room you're probably going to spend but the least amount of time to be honest, I don't even think you're gonna remember how you got into this room, not after all the gin and all the pretzels that I intend to consume tonight.

  • You might notice that this room and the bathroom are all completely connected and you would think that because of that, that the bath would completely overflow into here.

  • But I will show you something very cool and chris will be here to demonstrate.

  • Are you sure there's nothing is not going to happen, This has magical disappearing water way up in the bedroom.

  • That's that's incredible!

  • Quite a relief because we don't want to destroy the $39,000 hotel room.

  • Yeah.

  • Land of the hills and welcome to the roadshow.

  • Where's my beer in there are some shit, I don't know.

  • Okay, stop, stop music.

  • This, this image is going to be forever stained into the minds of my wonderful views but thank you Alex, what a great birthday and who knew karaoke bar could be so much fun and drinking and drinking.

  • Does it get any better than this?

  • Yeah, because the sushi chef has just arrived.

  • It does get better.

  • It gets better and better by the minute.

  • Mm So is this a good enough birthday for you?

  • I feel like an emperor were like this massive private estate with our own private sushi chef and some soccer that is made by the company.

  • Right?

  • Exactly.

  • Yeah.

  • This is actually made by the owner of this right here.

  • It's very good.

  • You scold your hands in the process.

  • Boom, boom, Parkins.

  • You liking that hooker?

  • Very good indeed.

  • I feel like Joey the anime man.

  • Yeah, it's the sort of stuff he would do it but this is insane, this is crazy doing Sheesha in a hotel room in the middle of Tokyo, I can't quite wrap my head around it but it's $39,000.
