ABOUT ACCOMMODATIONS (3 - 4 stars quality)
We choose Ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) as much as possible to support local tourism and economy.
Ryokan is traditional Japanese style inns often run by family and in many cases it has Onsen (natural hot springs) on site.
It’s definitely the best choice if you want to experience authentic Japanese accommodation.
However, there are a few things to remember before staying there.
