Hotels in Japan

Naturally, we must suggest you consider Tokyo, the capital of Japan. Hotels in Tokyo offer a wide range in price and services. Think of staying at the Shangri-La Hotel next to the train station and where the subway station is within walking distance. You may also walk to the largest shopping district in Tokyo or the Imperial Palace. The bus system is easy to understand, or just grab an inexpensive taxi. Kyoto is another city you should have on your list. Kyoto offers similar forms of transport as well as variety in lodging. Enjoy the oasis of the Suiran Luxury Hotel. This Kyoto hotel provides a Japanese experience that includes hot spring baths, private outdoor baths, staff in kimonos, with nearby temples, shrines, and gardens. The sounds of the Hozu River add to the overall feeling of peace.

We have all heard of Mt Fuji. Although this mountain is a bit far from Tokyo, it can still be seen quite clearly. For climbers, watching the sunrise from the peak is a fabulous reward. Then there is the famous Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Stroll through the gardens and be sure to take pictures of the double bridge. Tours are offered in English. If you have children, be sure to visit Micky and Minnie at Tokyo Disneyland. Cheap hotels in Tokyo near Disneyland include the Henn Na Hotel where robot raptors will check you into this dinosaur-themed lodging, the Hotel Springs Makuhari, which has a fun retro theme, and the Pension Unbirthday, where you and the kids eat your fill of the complimentary soup and fresh bread breakfast before you take off for your big day of adventure.

You picked the right country if you like nightlife! Japan comes alive at night. In Osaka, in the District of Namba, you will find exciting nightclubs, dance clubs, karaoke, and comedy clubs. Japanese hotels in Namba include the Kamon and the Grids Premium Hotel. Shibuya is another area quite famous for clubbing. Head to Dogenzaka Street to get your groove on. For a novel adventure, consider staying at Capsule Hotel Shibuya, where you will have a massage couch and a TV in your capsule. The Tokyo Stay Shibuya is near the party scene, and some of the rooms offer convenient laundry machines and kitchenettes. There are four districts in Tokyo for partying: Shibuya, Ginza, Shinjuku, and Roppongi. Tokyo offers an exciting culinary scene with modern restaurants that provide tasty dishes. Ete restaurant features top-notch tender slices of abalone layered over deep-fried bamboo shoot, while Kotaro provides tasty hand-cut udon noodles. Travelers looking to find hotels in Japan ideal for partiers can stay at Park Hyatt Tokyo, where you can look down at the craziness in the streets of Shinjuku by night and the majesty of Mt. Fuji by day.

The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is located in the city of Kanazawa. There you will find fantastic new styles of art along with permanent exhibits. The UAN Kanazawa is a nice choice for a hotel as it is very close to the Museum. There are about 15 museums in the Nagano Prefecture with everything from contemporary to traditional Japanese art. For cheap Japan hotels, consider staying at the Compass Hotel, where the Zenkoji Temple is under two miles away. And of course, the country’s capital city of Tokyo is rich with museums. The National Art Center of Tokyo is full of Japanese art and architecture. These museums provide paid guided tours, and travelers have to pay an entrance fee. From early March to mid-May, the museums park with flocks of tourists seeking to explore them. If you are up for less crowded visits, consider visiting during December.
