Accommodation Overview
Accommodation is generally expensive in Japan but cheap rooms
can be
found with a little perseverance.
The type of cheap accommodation that you seek out in Japan will depend whether you are
traveling in a group, a couple or alone, and on how you are
traveling. For example campsites are cheap, but in some instances they are only accessible by hitchhiking (unless you have your own transport).
Traveling around as a couple, our mainstays were cheap business hotels in the cities, and camping in the countryside.
However our most memorable nights were spent in
traditional Japanese accommodation such as Minshuku. These may
not always be cheapest option, but are worthwhile for truly
experiencing Japan.
The following list links to the sections of this website on the different budget accommodation options. Obviously, the more nights you can spend in the very cheap or free accommodation, the more money you will save!
