Tachikawa was a nice area for Shopping one of the biggest shopping centers I have seen.When I got to Yokota for support of the exercise in Korea we got to stay at the Tachikawa Grand Hotel [ Standard Single Room
* Bed size: 110cm x 195cm
* Facilities include bath/shower/toilet, radio, TV (CS), telephone, phone jack, mini-bar, air conditioning
* Room rate: 10,450 yen
* Rate per room includes service charge, excludes 5% tax
* Breakfast for extra 1,500 yen (tax excluded) ].We had dinner out of the vending machines. I agree the Beer machines are most definitely Yakuza owned but, when its 4am and every place is closed 400yen for a beer ain't bad
Friends of mine went to the Pig Palace(local name) and enjoyed themselves but I never got around to going anywhere but to shopping areas , local restaurants and the NCO Club.
