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.

Japan Lodging Options

Japan 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.





Japan Business Hotels
Japan business hotels are a great option for budget-minded travelers who prefer the familiarity of Western-style accommodations.





Japan Youth Hostels
Conveniently located throughout the country, Japan youth hostels are another great Japan budget accommodation option.





Traditional Japanese 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.





Japanese hot springs resort
No Japan travel experience is complete without indulging in the pleasure of a soothing soak at a Japanese hot springs resort.





Japanese Capsule Hotels
Originally created to provide Japanese businessmen a no-frills, inexpensive place to crash when working or drinking with colleagues late into the night after the last train and no means of getting home, but in recent years, today these crazily cramped but cool lodgings have become a popular tourist attraction.

Japanese Love Hotels
Japanese Love Hotels are a special kind of hotel that provides a comfortable, erotic environment, sometimes with bizarre, kinky, and downright outrageous themes, for couples to enjoy discreet, intimate time together.



Japan Apartment Rentals and Guest 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.




Japan Temple Lodging
Get in touch with your inner "wa" by spending a night or two at a Zen Buddhist temple.






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.




Manga 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 Cafe?





As you can see, there are Japan lodging options for every budget and every travel style during your stay in Japan!
