Best places to stay in Japan

Of course you can find plenty of hotels and hostels in Japan, but if you want to make your trip really special, you need special accommodation. Japan is one of the last places in Asia where you can find truly authentic traditional accommodation: ryokan, minshuku and shukubō. Either way, Lonely Planet authors have picked the best of both worlds, traditional and modern, to help you with your plans.
