We -- er, I -- finally settled on a hotel: the Shinjuku Prince Hotel.
Even though my mom is a country girl (northern Japan is like being from the south here -- rural, slower, different accent and drawl), she says she's actually been to Shinjuku before. It's downtown, bustling, with a shopping district. I'm sure it's much different now than it was when she saw it, though.
I could hear the excitement over the phone when I told her about the hotel. I wish she would just come with us. I know how she is, though. She's so stubborn; routine is very important to her, and she doesn't want to disrupt her life for two weeks. But my God, she hasn't seen her sister in almost 25 years.

From what I hear from Dirty Dave is that the hotel is in the "young people's" district. Large entertainment area, clubs and stuff. Not where the old farts hang out. Everything is connected via train so getting from point A to point B should be cool. While there, try the MiMi Kaka. I heard if you like birds, its a delight.
