Experience of the stay
This was my first overseas trip with my 7-year-old and 6-year-old children, and it was to Taiwan (^^) I found this hotel through Half, and since it's affiliated with JR East, I felt assured staying at this Japanese hotel ⭐︎ It was about a 10-minute taxi ride from Taipei Songshan Airport! Most of the staff at the front desk spoke Japanese, and those wearing the Japanese flag badge spoke fluent Japanese and provided detailed guidance! There were several convenience stores near the hotel, as well as many drugstores and restaurants, making it very convenient! The convenience store even sold Japanese products, so we had no trouble finding drinks and food for the kids! I wanted to go to a nearby massage parlor, but since I don’t speak Chinese, I asked the front desk staff to help me make a reservation over the phone, which allowed me to enjoy the massage smoothly! The doorman at the entrance also provided smooth guidance, so there were no issues with taking taxis when going out, and we had a safe and secure trip! We booked a plan with breakfast included through Half, so we had breakfast at the hotel; the menu was plentiful, offering not only Japanese food but also traditional Taiwanese breakfast items like dishes using soy milk, satisfying both adults and kids! I would love to stay here again when I come to Taiwan!
Experiences during the trip
On the first day, we arrived at Taipei Songshan Airport, went to the hotel, dropped off our luggage, bought some essentials around the area, checked in, and then went for a massage. In the evening, we visited the Raohe Night Market, which was about a 15-minute taxi ride from the hotel! On the second day, we were taken to Jiufen, Shifen, Cat Village, and Shilin Night Market by a private chartered car! We experienced launching sky lanterns, enjoyed the streetscape reminiscent of Spirited Away, and had a thrilling day at Shilin Night Market with lots of games for the kids! On the third day, we had breakfast at a local breakfast shop, and then visited Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Taipei 101, and Ximen! It was a lot of fun for both food and shopping ^_^
