One very interesting accommodation option if you’re planning a short stay in Tokyo is the Ryokan, or traditional Japanese inn. In Ryokans you normally sleep on futons, and the floors of the room are covered with tatami (or reed) mats, so this, combined with the traditional ambience, will give you a far more authentic experience than a western-style hotel. You will be provided with a traditional Japanese robe to wear (yukata) and your stay will include breakfast and sometimes dinner too. Many Ryokan also have their own onsen (Japanese equivalent to a Turkish bath). To find out more about Ryokans in Tokyo and make a booking click on:

Another option is a Minshiku, which are traditional Japanese hostels. These are very similar to Ryokan but usually a bit more basic, often private homes that have been converted to accommodate visitors. When it comes to accommodation in Japan one important and well-known institution is the Love Hotel. These are easy to spot with their neon lights and coloured facades, and are intended for couples in need of privacy for their amorous pursuits. Bear in mind that if you don’t appear to be a couple, or arrive with loads of luggage, you’re not likely to be allowed a room. Love Hotels are generally cheap but are not suitable for stays of longer than a few nights.
