In Japan, your choices for lodging span the spectrum, from Western-style international and business hotels of all stripes to the charming ryokan inns, offering a hospitality experience that's authentically Japanese and heartwarmingly unique.
Ryokans are the hidden gems of your Japanese journey. They can range from cozy guesthouses exuding a homely charm to the epitome of elegance in Kyoto's finest establishments. But regardless of their form, they offer more than just a place to rest your weary head for the night. A night spent in a ryokan is an essential slice of the Japanese experience, and we recommend you embrace it during your travels.
"While there are pockets, especially on some of the southern islands, where options may be sparse and lack character, our commitment is to find the best possible choice for you, ensuring your journey is filled with memorable moments.
