The breakfast costs 4500 yen, which is around 30€. For japanese or even american taste, you can get to eat your moneys worth. But for people travelling from Europe, there isn’t much… Just coffee, white toast and fruit. They have a lot of warm dishes, so what I would have wished for would have been some fresh oven baked bread and good toppings like emmental cheese, cucumber and lettuce. They have like 5 different types of juice, but I would have hoped one of them could have...
