Where to Stay:

To have the true Mayan experience I suggest you stay at Casa KAN BALAM, a bed and breakfast in Playa del Carmen. Make the reservations on Airbnb. The owner has converted her house into like a boutique hotel with first class service.

Tokyo Station shines brightly with its new Japan Rail (JR) Travel Service Center (open 7:30am – 10:30 pm everyday). Here, you can ask anything you want about Japan Railways trains.
