Accommodations range from very deluxe Western-style international hotels to country family inns and pensions. Of the non-Western variety, most fall into one of two categories: business hotels that cater primarily to Japanese businesspeople and traditional Japanese-style hotels, called minshuku and ryokan. The traditional hotels are truly fascinating: Minshuku are family-owned bed-and-breakfast-type properties, ranging in price from inexpensive to moderately priced (they'll appeal to those wanting to become more familiar with local culture); ryokan are larger hotels that are usually more expensive, as the price often includes an elaborate evening meal. Little English is spoken in either, and private bathrooms are rarely available, but everyone should stay at least one night in a country inn. In these inns, remove your shoes and change into slippers upon entering. Guests sleep on futons (thin mattresses spread on the floor). These are not as uncomfortable as they sound. Guests take Japanese-style baths—you must scrub and rinse yourself thoroughly in the shower before entering the communal tub (getting soap in the tub is a major faux pas). Be aware that many traditional Japanese inns lock their doors at 10 or 11 pm. Contact the Japanese National Tourist Organization for a directory of less-expensive hotels.

This is a deluxe urban sanctuary enveloped by a 7-hectare Japanese garden. Although the location is the prettiest of any hotel in Tokyo, it is also inconvenient, requiring costly taxi rides to most business districts.

This is the best city hotel in southwestern Japan.

This is a big, glossy commercial hotel that has everything going for it except the better waterfront location that its nemesis, the similarly priced Nikko, claims.

Situated at the northern reaches of the busy Umeda theater district, this hotel is 600 m north of Osaka Station. This place is as refined as The Ritz-Carlton, but in its own distinctive way.

This property, 200 m south of Osaka Station, is, as far as functionality is concerned, as reliable as a Rolex. It lacks the polish of the Hankyu International and the gentleman's-club gloss of The Ritz-Carlton but offers just as much substance at cheaper rates.
