Accommodation in Japan
HotelsWestern hotels can be rare outside Tokyo and Osaka; elsewhere, it's Japanese brands like JAL/Nikko, Rihga Royal and Prince that rule the roost
Capsule hotels
Capsule hotels are the ultimate in space-efficient sleeping: for a small fee (normally between ¥3,000 and ¥4,000), the guest rents himself a capsule, sized about 2x1x1 meters and stacked in two rows inside a hall containing tens if not hundreds of capsules. Capsule hotels are invariably segregated by sex and only a few cater to women.
Love hotels
Love hotel is a bit of a euphemism; a more accurate term would be sex hotel. They can be found in and near red light districts, but most are not in those areas. Many of them are often clustered around highway interchanges or main train stations out of the city and back to the suburbs.
Business hotels
They are usually around ¥10,000 per night and have a convenient location (often near major train stations) as their major selling point, but rooms are usually unbelievably cramped. On the upside, you'll get a (tiny) ensuite bathroom and, quite often, free Internet.
Tips: I.Japan is a “cash-only” nation that many small hotels are reluctant to accept credit card payment. So to prepare enough cash to pay is a good idea. II.To speed up check-in, prepare some copies of your passport because the hotel is, by law,required to make a copy of your passport unless you are a resident of Japan. III Do not sleep till late for check-out time is invariably 10 AM, and any extensions to this will have to be paid for.
Inns
Ryokan
Ryokan are traditional Japanese inns, and a visit to one is the highlight of many a trip to Japan. There are two types: the small traditional-style one with wooden buildings, long verandahs, and gardens, and the more modern high-rise sort that are like luxury hotels with fancy public baths.Minshuku are the budget version of ryokan: the overall experience is much the same but the food is simpler, dining is communal, bathrooms are shared, and guests are expected to lay out their own futon (although an exception is often made for foreigners).
Kokuminshukusha
Kokuminshukusha , a mouthful that translates quite literally into "people's lodges", are government-run guest houses.
Shukubō
Shukubō are lodgings for pilgrims, usually (but not always) located within a Buddhist temple or Shinto shrine. Again, the experience is broadly similar to a ryokan, but the food will be vegetarian and you may be offered a chance to participate in the temple's activities.
Hostels and camping
Youth hostels
Youth hostels can be comparatively expensive in Japan, especially if you opt for dinner and breakfast and are not a HI member, in which case the price for a single night may be over ¥5000.
Camping
Camping is (after nojuku, see below) the cheapest way to get a night's sleep in Japan. There is an extensive network of camping grounds throughout the country; naturally, most are away from the big cities. Transportation to them can also be problematic, as few buses may go
there. Prices may vary from nominal fees (¥500) to large bungalows that cost more than many hotel rooms (¥13000 or more).
