Where to stay in Tokyo, Japan? Which website is best for booking hotels in Japan?

Everyone should be familiar with the accommodation problem in Japan. In fact, the hotels where you stay in Japan are actually very small.

Winter is the peak tourist season in Hokkaido, so accommodation should be booked as early as possible. Accommodation in Hokkaido is mainly concentrated on the following websites:

Booking: mainly hotels, many hotels can cancel for free, and the APP version is also very convenient to operate;

Agoda: and Booking It's a hotel with similar properties, but the app version is not as convenient as Booking. You can compare prices before deciding where to start. Agoda's properties are prepaid in advance, and you don't need to pay again when you get to the hotel.

Airbnb: Everyone is familiar with the B&B website. If you want to save travel expenses, staying in a B&B is a good choice. B&Bs in Japan are generally small but well-equipped.

Japan Rakuten: Japan’s local hotel booking website has nothing to do with South Korea’s Rakuten! This website is a collection of hotels and B&Bs. It has many listings that Booking and Agoda do not have. The page can be selected in Chinese. However, There are not as many properties displayed in Chinese as there are in Japanese, especially B&Bs. Friends who cannot read Japanese can download Google Chrome and easily translate the page into Chinese!

e路东莛: Japan’s local homestay website, where you can book some relatively niche cities accommodation.

Jalan: It’s similar to Rakuten. You can book some special accommodations. When housing is in short supply during the peak season, you can check out Japan’s local booking websites. Otaru

HotelDormyInn

Recommendation index: ★★★★☆

Double room price: 567RMB/night without breakfast

Advantages: The location is excellent, right opposite Otaru Station. You must know that dragging large luggage in the snow every step in winter is painful, so it is definitely a wise move to choose a hotel opposite the station; although almost all hotels in Hokkaido have free There are many popular hot springs, but this hot spring is still worthy of praise, especially the outdoor hot spring, which is definitely worth the room price; free soy sauce ramen is provided every night, and eating ramen after soaking in the hot spring has become a daily routine.

Disadvantages: The room is small, and three suitcases spread out basically occupy the road... If you don't have that much luggage, you can automatically ignore this. Sapporo

1. Mitsui Garden Hotel Sapporo

Recommended index ★★★★☆

Double room price: 382RMB/breakfast not included

Advantages: Because I was only staying in Sapporo for one night, I chose a hotel near the station with a very cute price. I didn’t have any expectations at first, but when I arrived, I found that the price/performance ratio was too high! It’s a five-minute walk to Sapporo Station, and there are convenience stores, shopping malls, and restaurants nearby. Everything is available, and most importantly, the bed is huge!

Disadvantages: At this price, don’t expect anything from the public hot spring in the hotel. It’s actually just a public bathhouse... Akan National Park

Accommodations in Akan National Park are mainly concentrated around the three lakes, of which Lake Akan has the most accommodations. The well-known high-end hot spring hotel chains are all gathered in Lake Akan, such as the famous Tsuruga, and some hotels It also provides paid pick-up and drop-off services from Sapporo and Kushiro. If you have a sufficient budget and want to enjoy it, you may choose to choose a high-end hot spring hotel around Lake Akan for a good vacation. The biggest disadvantage here is that it is far away from the most beautiful Lake Kussharo. There are not many accommodation options in Lake Kussharo and Lake Mashu, most of which are B&Bs.

2. Marumaki B&B

Double room price: 1037RMB/night without breakfast

This house is owned by local ethnic minorities. I couldn’t find room pictures online, but the appearance of the house is still good. The biggest highlight is YadoHana, located at the entrance of Gudan Hot Spring

I was planning to book this hotel when Furari had no vacancies, but then I checked the website a few times and found someone checking out, so I decisively chose Labrador. That house. Although I didn't stay in Marukifun in the end, I stopped by its restaurant when I went to Gudan Hot Spring. The taste is worth recommending. Shiretoko Peninsula

Accommodations on the Shiretoko Peninsula are mainly hot spring hotels and family B&Bs. The hot spring hotels are preferred to be in Kitakatsuki, which has the best location and facilities. The price ranges from 1,500 RMB to 5,000 RMB. Although it is not cheap, it is occasionally luxurious. I can get it, but the sea view room with an open-air hot spring spa that I really wanted was fully booked. Although there are many other room types to choose from, since I spent a lot of money, I hope to enjoy the most satisfactory room. facilities, so I finally gave up on this one and stayed in a family B&B instead.
