Where to Stay: Japan Lodging Options
There are Japan lodging options for every budget and travel style, whether you're an executive in Tokyo on business, a student backpacker hiking in Japan's rural backwoods, or a tourist taking in temples in the ancient capital of Kyoto.
Your Japan Lodging Options include:
Luxury Hotels - If price is no object and you want to see Japan in high style and maximum comfort, a Japan luxury hotel may be just the accommodation for you.
Business Hotels - Japan business hotels are a great option for budget-minded travelers who prefer the familiarity of Western-style accommodations. Youth Hostels - Conveniently located throughout the country, Japan youth hostels are another great Japan budget accommodation option.Traditional Japanese Inns (Ryokan) - If you want to take a step back in time and experience traditional Japan at its best, consider a stay at a traditional Japanese ryokan.
Hot Springs Resorts - No Japan travel experience is complete without indulging in the pleasure of a soothing soak at a Japanese hot springs resort.
Minshuku and Pensions - Minshuku are cozy, family-run bed & breakfast type lodgings, often located in rural areas. Pensions are similar to minshuku, except that rooms are Western style.
Short-term Rental Accommodations (Gaijin Houses) If you're looking for a place to park your luggage for a week, a month, or even longer, short-term rental apartments or guest houses, sometimes known as "gaijin houses," may be your best option.
Zen Temples - Get in touch with your inner "wa" by spending a night or two at a Zen Buddhist temple.
Capsule Hotels - For a true Japan lodging adventure, squeeze yourself into one of Japan's infamous capsule hotels!
Love Hotels - For a uniquely romantic and strangely erotic overnight experience, spend a night in a love hotel (for consenting adult couples only!).
Manga (Internet) Cafes - When you've missed the last train after a hard night of partying and are short on cash for a cab ride home, why not pass the time waiting for the next morning's first train at a Manga Internet Cafe?
Resorts - From hot springs to skiing and snowboarding and, of course, Tokyo Disneyland, Japan offers resorts that are fun for everyone.
