Accommodation
There is no lack of places to stay in Tokyo, with some of the world’s top brands in the market and more on the way for the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics. Accommodation ranges from de-luxe palaces to no-frills business lodgings and budget ‘capsule hotels’. Older establishments exude a distinctive Japanese ambience, while business hotels come with clean and functional bedrooms.
The best traditional Japanese inns, or ryokan, epitomise the essence of Japanese hospitality. You sleep on futon mattresses on tatami mats, bathe in a traditional bath and are served exquisite kaiseki ryori meals in your room by attendants in kimonos. Note that they often don’t accept credit cards; if staying at one, it is best to check in advance.
Capsule hotels have become a famous symbol of crowded Japan. Located near big stations, they provide fully equipped sleeping cells at economic rates, mostly for drunken men who miss the last train home to the suburbs.
Airbnb and other sharing economy approaches to accommodations have recently arrived in Japan. Potential guests are advised that legal issues with Japan’s Inns and Hotel Act remain to be sorted out.
Western-style hotels charge on a per-room basis, although at traditional ryokan inns and pensions customers are charged per person with the rate usually including dinner and breakfast. Many larger hotels also offer non-smoking rooms and women-only floors. All hotel rates include 8 percent consumption tax. Luxury hotels may impose a 10–15 percent service charge. If your room costs over ¥10,000 per person per night, there’s also a Tokyo Metropolitan Government tax of ¥100 per person per night (¥200 per person if the room costs over ¥15,000).
Price for a double room for one night without breakfast:
¥¥¥¥ = over ¥30,000
¥¥¥ = ¥20,000–30,000
¥¥ = ¥10,000–20,000
¥ = below ¥10,000
