Accommodation and hotels in Japan

Are you planning to visit Japan? Have you already considered the accommodation and hotels that best suit your needs while in the country? We can help you to make the best decision by providing you with some useful tips. That was the purpose of writing this article.

 

Japan is arguably one of the most distinctively creative countries in the world, famed for its futuristic kitsch designs as well as its rich and traditional heritage. Many of the country’s places of accommodation and hotels echo this heritage.

 

You’ll be spoilt for choice with minimal zen-like ryokan on one end of the accommodation menu and a zany hotel staffed by robots on the other.

 

Japan generally has a wide range of accommodation types, ranging from traditional Japanese inns to Western-style accommodations. These categories dot the country's various western hotels, business hotels, youth hostels, ryokan, capsule hotels, and love hotels, among others.

 

Because what would be the best accommodation for one individual could likely not be the case for another, we’ll sample the popular accommodation styles and, where applicable, the associated hotels in Japan.

 

Western-style hotels

If Marriotts, Radissons, Hyatts, and so on are your choice of accommodation, you’re safe on your visit to Japan. The choices are fairly similar to what you would anticipate in any other country. What you should be aware of is that they frequently experience significant seasonal price fluctuations, with hotel rates tripling or even double during the cherry blossom season.

 

The best Western-style hotels in Japan, including luxury hotels, boutique hotels, and budget hotels, as voted by The Telegraph, are: The ryokan-inspired Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto hotel; Zaborin, which is a sprawling luxury ryokan; and Asaba, which is Japan’s finest traditional ryokan inns and an epitome of serene lakeside onsen bathing, lush gardens, seasonal cuisine, and zen guestrooms.

 

Others include the Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo Hotel, which is considered a sensual, grown-up high-rise hotel with seriously fine dining; and Palace Hotel, Tokyo, which is a historic hotel with a contemporary interior overtaking the Imperial Palace moat in the heart of Tokyo, has spacious rooms with balconies, and a view out over the palace gardens with a line of futuristic skyscrapers in the distance, among others.

 

If you want to stay in a Western-style hotel Nozawa Onsen is known for, then Nozawa Grand Hotel will provide you with unparalleled possibilities. There is also a good number of Nozawa Onsen luxury accommodation facilities and Nozawa Onsen ski resorts for visitors who want to indulge in exciting luxury and exquisite pleasure during their visit to Nozawa Onsen.

 

The experience of snowboarding and skiing while staying at Nozawa Onsen ski resort accommodation can be exceedingly breathtaking and memorable too! I tried it when I visited the area, and it has remained on my mind since!

 

Japanese business hotels

Business hotels might conjure up images of the usual perks associated with business class. That is not the case because they primarily target Japan’s itinerant workers.

 

In Japan, client relationship building and maintaining everything is prime. Salespeople will spend a lot of time on the road, visiting and entertaining clients and customers. This means that staying at the luxury hotels every night as they travel could be quite costly. The Japanese business hotel usually fills this gap.

 

The hotels may be a little more expensive in tourist centers, but they also offer a good alternative for tourists who just want a basic and reasonably priced hotel room. Some of the best business hotels in Japan include Iraha Nozawa, Schneider Hotel, and Dennojo.

 

Japanese youth hostels

Youth hostels have been springing up all over Japan to cater to the shortage of hotel rooms in heavily visited areas of the country as well as tourists looking for alternatives like AirBnB.

 

Some of the hostels are located strategically and have nice décor and trendy bars and restaurants that blur the line between a hotel and a hostel. Among the best youth hostels in Japan are Hiroshima Saijo Youth Hostel, Hostel Mallika, and Riku Hostel.

 

Ryokan

Ryokan are Japanese inns that have been catering to travellers and tourists for long before Western hotels and business hotels set in. Some of the best ryokan-type accommodation facilities in Japan include Nozawa Onsen Lodge, Tanuki Lodge, Kamoshika Ski Lodge, Edi Sakura, Villa Rakuen, and Zadorin, among others.

  

 

Japanese capsule hotels

Capsule hotels are convenient, comfortable, and cheap. Because tourists increasingly want to stay in capsule hotels just for the experience, more and more luxurious varieties of capsule hotels have been popping up around Japan. The hotels have communal baths and restaurants serving breakfast. Some of the best capsule hotels in Japan include the Millenials Capsule Hotel, Nine Hours Suidobashi, and the Global Hotel Tokyo, among others.

 

Japanese love hotels

The prevalence of love hotels in Japan in modern day Japan has roots in the post-war era when there were increasing reports of public sex as a result of the number of couples who had lost their homes and had nowhere else to go. Even those who had a roof over their heads were living in cramped accommodation where they often shared a room with relatives or children.

 

Love hotels came in as a demand for privacy increased. Nowadays, the privacy issue no longer underpins love hotels, as the hotels exist more for excitement than convenience. The best love hotels in Japan include Hotel PetitBali Higashi-Shinjuku, Hotel & Spa J-MEX Shinjuku Kabukicho, and Hotel Balian Resort Kinshicho, among many others.
