Deluxe
Located in major cities throughout the country, Japan's deluxe hotels are rated among the best in the world.

Business Hotels
Business Hotels are clean and comfortable "no-frills" lodgings often conveniently located within easy reach of public transportation. These hotels are usually smaller and offer fewer facilities than their deluxe counterparts. Room service is not generally available but most business hotels provide vending machines for snacks and drinks and many have their own restaurants. Accommodation is usually limited to single rooms - ideal for the business traveller. Prices generally range between ¥6,000 and ¥9,000 per person, per night.*
Pensions
Pensions are B&B style lodgings often found near ski and lakeside resorts. They offer a friendly atmosphere and home cooked meals, as well as many of the amenities you would expect of a hotel. Pension accommodation is ideal for those who wish to explore rural Japan. Prices start at around ¥5,000 per person, per night (room only) and ¥7,500 per person, per night (including two meals).*
