Toranomon Kuko, Ginza: Reading a Luxury Deriheru's Fare Chart Like a First-Time Flyer
Toranomon Kuko is a Ginza luxury deriheru that sells cabin-attendant dates in three fare classes, from ¥45,000 to ¥150,000. I booked like a first-time flyer and found three things: the new-customer ticket beats the sticker price by ¥9,000 to ¥24,000, the manager's-choice free course undercuts even that by ¥2,000, and the 30-minute extension is the one seat upgrade you should never buy.
