Japan
offers everything from leading international five stars brand hotels to
cheaper more local options that should be able to accommodate any
budget. All
the major hotels in Japan, are of a very high standard and service is
quite simply excellent. The five stars hotels will all have very well
trained, English (and other language) speaking staff and the amenities
are comparable to five stars hotels in any other major city around the
world. One
type of hotel you will only find in Japan and makes for a very unusual
and rich cultural experience is the Ryokan. Ryokan's are generally small
buildings with only 12 or so rooms, and they have quite a few rules and
regulations, which follow the average Japanese culture. Ryokan's are
perhaps better suited for people that have an understanding and respect
for Japanese culture, or leisure travellers looking to learn, rather
than business people who have a tight schedule to fill. To learn more
about Ryokan's read our article about Ryokan
in Japan. Another
novelty to Japan's hotel world is the capsule hotel. Capsule Hotels are
very popular among Japanese business men who have missed the last train
home, or have had perhaps too much of a good time entertaining clients
and/or friends. These unusual hotels are in-expensive but not somewhere
you would really want to spend any length of time. There are no rooms as
such at a capsule hotel, guests sleep in enclosed, cramped, almost
coffin like in shape, spaces. Whatever
your budget or accommodation needs Japan has something for everyone.
