Disneyland is often called the happiest place on earth, and it definitely makes my family happy no matter how many times we visit. But does it actually make me happier? We managed to secure a rare reservation at the Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel, a stay that costs around ¥100,000 or $650 per night and is almost impossible to book. My wife says it is supposed to be magical, so I wanted to see if it really lives up to the hype. To find out, I decided to compare it with a much cheaper option just 20 minutes away called Hotel Springs. The names are almost identical, but the prices are not. One costs ten times more than the other. My goal is simple. I rate both hotels based on how happy they make me feel, including the lobby, room, amenities, views, and overall experience. The Fantasy Springs Hotel is built directly inside Tokyo DisneySea, connected to the park and located in the newest Fantasy Springs area. Being able to enter the park easily and start the day close to the rides definitely adds to the experience. The question is whether that convenience and atmosphere are really worth the price compared to a basic, affordable hotel nearby.

![Day in the Life of a Japanese Karaoke Box Worker
A day in the Life of a Japanese Private Karaoke Box Worker in Tokyo Japan. This is Japan work life in Tokyo as single person living in a 1K apartment and working at large Japanese company with a very Japanese work culture. Japanese employees even wear a SHASHO(社章), a company badge that’s issued to employees when they are hired. In Japan, many salarymen wear it proudly as sign of prestigious especially when working at a large company. We see the employees morning routine, full day at work as well as what he does after work. Masa works at BIG ECHO, a leading Karaoke chain in Japan. In fact, Karaoke and Karaoke boxes are deeply embedded Japanese culture and entertainment, as students sing after school, adults sing during and after drinking parties, and even individual users come here to practice. It’s become a part of everyday Japanese life. And unlike some countries where Karaoke is commonly performed in a room filled with strangers, In Japan the Karaoke box aka room, allows for small groups of friends to enjoy each other’s singing in privacy.
With more than 439 facilities all throughout Japan, the companys 6300 dedicated workers ensure that their customers of all ages have a fun and entertaining experience each and every time. And Masa is an important piece as he’s the chief manager of 3 shops located in Shibuya, and this is one of them, located on center-gai street, the heart of Shibuya. The Karaoke is open 24 hours a day, so the staff work in shifts to ensure a smooth operation. Today, Masa works the day shift which starts at 1PM, but he also works the overnight shift as well as the early morning shifts depending on the day.

*This was filmed in January 2024
*Masa starts his work day at 1PM
