Hotels

Typically located near train stations or within walking distance of key tourist attractions, hotels range from budget-friendly options, business hotels to mid-range regional/national chains. Most offer both Japanese and Western-style rooms. Look out for promotional offers when making an advance booking, and note that rates are often based per person not by room.

Ryokan

Staying at a Japanese traditional-style inn is an intimate experience that is best enjoyed by arriving on or soon after check-in time. Typically after taking a refreshing bath or onsen upon arrival, guests slip into light cotton yukata kimono for dinner, and enjoy a full-course kaiseki-style feast, sometimes served in the privacy of their room. Rates are per person, and include breakfast. Children get a pro-rated discount.

Guest Houses

Guest houses, minshuku and pensions are the Japanese equivalents of a bed and breakfast. They are often family-run, and offer a homey introduction to the Japanese way of life. Reasonably priced, their rooms are typically floored with straw tatami mats and feature futon floor-mattresses in place of beds.

Shukubo Temple Retreats

Access a world typically not open to the general public by staying at a temple. Shukubo retreats allow you to live and breath an ancient history; get a glimpse into the way of life of a Shingon Buddhist monk – one that has existed for more than 12 centuries since the founding of Shingon Buddhism. Expect traditional Japanese-style rooms looking out onto inner gardens and traditional buildings; Buddhist vegetarian cuisine is the order of the day. Guests are welcome to partake in meditation sessions, calligraphy and sutra teachings.
