There are many types of accommodations available in Tokyo, from hotels, ryokan (Japanese style inns), minshuku (Japanese style tourist homes) to youth hostels (YH). The grade of the hotels varies widely from luxury five-star hotels to economical business hotels, allowing tourists to choose one that fits their budget. Many major hotels are conveniently located for shopping and sightseeing and are easy to access from/to both Narita and Haneda Airports by an airport limousine. Although it is better to make a reservation in advance of your trip, you will find a place to stay easily from a number of choices even after you arrive in Japan. Hotel reservation counters are available at both airports. While the ryokans and minshukus are not common in central Tokyo, they are the majority of accommodations available in the countryside, including Tokyo's islands. The room charge generally includes a dinner and breakfast, which gives you a chance to try a local cuisine. Some ryokans and minshukus have hot spring baths. If you would like to experience the traditional Japanese lifestyle with tatami mat, futon, yukata, washoku and so on, the ryokans and minshukus should be your choice to stay. As for the youth hostels, nine locations are available in Tokyo. The youth hostels are popular worldwide among frequent tourists for their clean, comfortable room at reasonable charge.
