Afternoon tea at Mandarin Oriental Hotel

Mandarin Oriental Hote, Tokyo.

First time to have an afternoon tea at this hotel for me, so I was excited from the morning:) It is located in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. 

My friend and I made this plan last year, and she booked our table.

While we were having the tea, we heard the conversation between the waitor and the women sit next us. Their conversation was if we sit near the window, we can't stay more than 2 hours, but if we don't request the seat near the window, they are allowed to stay until the dinner time, 6:00PM.We were seated in the middile of the room.

Iced Ginger Tea.

After the lights were dimmed, the candles were lit. We didn't know we chatted for almost 4 1/2hours since we got the restraunt.

There are four restaurants on 38th floor and I saw some people were killing time on the sofa until their company come.

Can you guess from where I took this picture?

It is the view from the restroom(I guess the view from the men's restroom is the same as women's) It's hard to see the skytree in this picture, but you can see it very nicely from the restroom day and night. You can see this view even you don't have a meal at any resturant, you just need to go to the restroom after you got off the elevator :P
