I’ve been in the UK for the past couple of months, so when it was time to return to Tokyo, I knew I’d have to do a 6 day hotel quarantine.

I was at Villa Fontaine Haneda which is a brand new hotel and is right at the airport. It was a really lovely hotel but I had no view really and the internet was terrible as well as the TV. One night I was just absentmindedly looking out of the window, enjoying the view of the other side of the hotel when I noticed a couple having sex up against the window. Well, that ruined that, so I shut my blind and just sat on the bed in the dark.

The food looks really good but it really wasn’t after day one. It all tasted the same and was practically the same each day. My husband ended up dropping food off for me and I am so grateful that he did. These are the vegan bentos – there was no vegetarian option.

Every day we had to do a temperature check (thermometer provided by hotel) and report to the hotel and the government service. I had to do a spit test on the 3rd and 6th day.

Heres hoping you don’t ever have to experience a hotel quarantine but best of luck to you if you do.
