If your wallet’s fat, you’ll have no problem finding top-notch places to stay all over Japan to relieve you of your yen.

Large Western-style hotels abound in all the large cities, while a true Japanese experience is to be had at a tradional ryokan, whether that be in a city or out in the mountains or countryside. Meals are exquisite at top ryokan and may be the highlight of your trip.

Other top-end options may include staying in a whole house or apartment booked through Airbnb.
