One of the kinds of Japan accommodations I've recommended over the years are the Japanese inns (ryokans).
Generally, they are family-owned and operated and are less expensive than hotels. Plus, a traveler will be able to enjoy a "Japanese experience" during their stay. Most ryokans also have their own restaurant where guests can sign up for a meal without leaving the facility.
A new service specializing in ryokans has been inaugurated for an easy reservation process.
According to the Detroit Free Press:
A network of Japanese guest houses called ryokans can provide a simpler, more authentic experience in Japan than a giant hotel — and they’re cheaper, too.
With the yen falling in value against the dollar, some ryokans are less than $100 a night, depending on where you stay in the country.
Now, a new service by the Novi-based Japan Roads tour company makes ryokan reservations easy.For more information, go here.
