Business hotels
There’s nothing especially exciting about Japanese business hotels, unless conference facilities and photocopying rooms are how you get your kicks – not that there’s anything wrong with that. But for tour operators the attraction is obvious. They are usually reasonably priced, not busy on weekends and, handily for budget holidays, centrally located, so that all the city’s key attractions are right on your doorstep. Expect small, simple, Western-style rooms, clean and comfortable and within easy reach of train or subway stations. They will usually have vending machines and all the other amenities you’d expect from the type of budget hotels you’d find anywhere else. Not luxury, but perfectly fine for a night or two at a time. Essentially, in the cities it’s all about the location.Ryokans and minshuku
