Toyoko Inn Hakata-eki Minami: Toyoko Inn Chain Hotel in Fukuoka

by ecstaticsonic

This is really budget type of hotel, suitable for businesman. Japanese style type of service, staff speak very little of English or any foreign language except, Japanese, Korean or some Chinesse. Room's are really small, really small compare to American standard. But this is the true way to experience the Japanese way, breakfast are in Japanese style. A convenient store is located within walking distance, other than that if you were to get some late night snack, there is no nearby restaurant except for one Japanese run type of western fast food located 10 minutes walking distance.

A shuttle bus from the hotel will send you to the Hakata Station , pls refer to their timetable and also to the Hakata domestic & international flight airport.

Comfort Hotel Tokyo Higashi Nihonbashi: Discipline is a must

by Boerresen

This hotel is targeted at businesspeople – these rooms are meant as a place to kick of your shoes, turn on the computer (free WIFI), go to sleep and shower in the morning before breakfast. So the rooms are small, minute really, but somehow they’ve cramped what one need into it. So it’s fine for travelers as well – all it takes is a whole lot of discipline because without it, you’ll rapidly be unable to find your things.
The bathroom is quite like what you’d find in the cabin on a boat, but the shower/tub is effective.
The breakfast buffet is quite nice aimed at both locals and westerns – it is cafeteria style - so you clear of your own table. There’s a free coffee/tea station where you can serve yourself during the stay
Next door to one side is a 7-Eleven which has an ATM (I’ve been told that this is a feature of most 7-elevens in Japan) – however this one was nifty when arriving with hardly any yen in your pocket. To the other side Japan Rails has a station. To either side you’ll find a metrostation within a five minute walk.
In conclusion this hotel is good accommodation, if you’re looking for both a decent price and a central location in Tokyo.

Kyoto Hotel: Bicycle Tour

by Mytie

When I stay in Kyoto I found out something very useful about some hotels in Japan. Some offer the use of a bicycle for nothing extra. A bicycle is one of the best ways to tour a particular city. You can get to know the sites much better and you don't have to hurry to get back to the seat on the tour bus. Try this out. If your interested check out my site (www.thejte.com) Take Care

Free use of bicycle

Hotel grand palace: In the heart of Tokyo

by msc_23

The hotel stuff was very kind.
The comfort was amazing especially with a special japanese tea in a classic japan style cup while i was watching the phenomenal scene of tokyo.
The hotel has a special system for the earthquakes.I experinced one fortunately ;) and it was like nothing happened.felt nothing.
I'm from Turkey so i'm not used to asian foods.The hotel's restaurant was very rich so i didn't felt like far away from home about my eating consuetude.

Easy access to any place is a very special comfort in a very very crowded city like tokyo.

Hilton Hotel - Osaka: Clean Gem

by acommon1

Well, when I arrived to the hotel, I didn't expect much especially after being spoil from quality service receive while in Southeast Asia. This hotel was easy to find. Checking in was smooth. Felt welcomed (or as welcomed as a Japanese reservationist) can make you feel in a very reserved manner.

Though I consider the place sort of Spartan in it's interior design, every thing that they had fit as if it belonged exactly where it was. All the furniture was modern with quality tapestry with metallic subtle presence.

Seem a bit cool. But, then, the Bellmen stepped in to sweep up my luggage. They do what they do because it is their job. In the USA, our Bellmen jump for your luggage because their trying to generate a maximum number of tips during their shift. The Japanese Bellmen were not phased and actually turned down tips at time. Of course, I pressed them to take it which later I learned that this probably isn't the thing to do.

The room had just the right amount of furniture. Though small, it had a feeling of roominess. Loved the low beds. I slept like a baby especially after a little partying around the town.

At the Hilton- Osaka, you have city view. Really lights up at night.

Loved the breakfast. All the seafood. This was my "FIRST SEAFOOD" breakfast. While at breakfast, I ended up meeting a set of musical entertainers from New York. A gospel group. They we very welcoming too. Great to see my "pepps" traveling beyond the USA borders. They shared with me how the Japanese people appreciated American music (which did include our religious music).

Loved the hotel's location to the back street small shops, neighborhood bars, and subway.

Family Lodge: HATAGOYA Yamanakako: Warmth in cool Fuji Five Lakes area

by traveldream

On our visit in the cool month of November 2005, this B&B is like home. The warm and cosy lobby serves also as living room and breakfast room. Car park available.

The room had 2 queen-sized beds, TV, air conditioner & heater. The shower is not spacious but enough, and clean. Shower gel, shampoo, and towels were available. The toilet room is clean and dry, in separate door face-to-face with the shower room.

You can help yourself with hot drinks available for free at the lobby/living room. They served toasts and breads with hot drinks for breakfast.

This B&B is located in the town of Yamanakako, very close to Lake Yamanaka in Fuji Five Lakes area, where we enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake and the iconic Mt. Fuji. There are restaurants and at least one convenient store (7 Eleven) at the lake area.

This B&B is clean, the hosts were friendly. It's located near Lake Yamanaka, the spot to enjoy the beauty of Mount Fuji and the lake itself.
