Accommodation in Japan

Japanese Accommodation

Japanese Accommodation comes in many styles and suits a range of budgets and traveller requirements.

Hotels

Ranging from 2 to 5 stars, with a wide price range.  Jim’s Japan finds the best value hotels for our tour participants.

The room styles include single, double, twin and triple or family suite rooms with private ensuite bathrooms.  Room sizes range from 10 ~ 30 sq m or more.

Rooms at the same price point, are generally smaller in the big cities than those in regional cities and towns.

Ryokan

High quality Japanese Style inns which usually include breakfast and dinner.  Rooms are usually tatami mat floors.  Guests sleep on futon or padded mattresses laid out on the tatami mat floor.

Minshuku

Bed and breakfast style accommodation with owner living on site, similar to Ryokan but smaller, more economical, and more homely.

Minpaku

This category includes accommodation listed on Airbnb.   Typically the owner or manager is not on-site, and key access is via a drop-box or similar arrangement.
