Running around Tokyo in September can really take a lot out of you. The weather is still incredibly hot and the air conditioning isn't on full blast like it is in the buildings in Hong Kong. Apparently, the best place to take a load off is the mega electronic store in Shibuya. Just grab a massage recliner, kick off your shoes, and enjoy a late afternoon nap. All are welcome! If you are sick, just slap on a mask and don't sit directly next to someone.
I can only imagine how many people sleep in those chairs on a regular basis. I was surprised there wasn't a line of people waiting for their turn in a chair. It makes you think twice about sitting down in public places. The good thing is that because of SARS and Swine Flu many Asian countries practice proper hygiene. It wouldn't surprise me if this store has people who sanitize the chairs once the nappers awake from their sleep.
You are constantly seeing attendants wiping down the front doors of buildings. Most of the public bathrooms in Tokyo and Hong Kong are cleaner than our own. (At least the one's that don't require you to squat over a hole!) Our apartment building has someone who cleans the elevator buttons every two hours!
Anyway, if you are ever in Tokyo and need a place to relax and get a massage, you don't have to spend your Yen on a dirty foot massage, just head over to the electronic store in Shibuya, just don't forget your face mask!
and a picture of you on the chairs?? Come on you must have tried it out. The toilets are just too much oye. Happy Yom Kippur girl xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo do they have vibrating recliner toilets, too? That would be exciting.
ReplyDeleteCan we send these attendants over to 124??? The bathrooms there need some cleaning.
