questions
Questions about our hotels
Which hotels do your tours stay in?
Each tour names its hotels and ryokan on its page, night by night, and every one of them has a page here: city hotels in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Sapporo, and ryokan with their own onsen in the countryside, the lake country and the mountains.
What is a ryokan?
A ryokan is a Japanese inn: tatami rooms, yukata laid out for you, an onsen (hot-spring bath), often on a spring of its own, and a kaiseki dinner served course by course. The best of them keep only a few rooms, and several on our tours have an open-air onsen in every room.
How do you choose the hotels?
You stay in the finest luxury hotels and ryokan in Japan, each one chosen personally by us for its luxury, its comfort and its setting.
Can you book a hotel that none of your tours uses?
Yes. The Custom Tour of Japan is created around your party alone, on your dates, and any hotel or ryokan on this page can be part of it. If you would rather travel independently, the Expert Japan Itinerary plans every day for you.
Where you sleep, chosen for you.
Every night of our tours is at a hotel or ryokan on this page. The Custom Tour of Japan can take you to any of them, on your dates, and the Expert Japan Itinerary plans the days if you would rather travel independently.
