Accommodation

Ryokan Asunaro - Takayama, Japan

Staying in Japanese-style accommodation is a cultural experience in itself and potentially, one of the great joys of a trip to Japan.

Where else do you sleep in a futon on the floor at a ryokan or minshuku, in a capsule hotel, or at a shukubō in a Buddhist temple?

Plus there’s a mind-blowing array of options that may never have occurred to you.

If you need the comforts of home by staying in a Western-style hotel room and eating Western-style meals, expect to pay accordingly. The world’s big hotel chains are in Japan too, but you’ll pay through the nose and miss out on some unique Japanese cultural experiences.
