The two times I have been to Japan I have stayed at Airbnb. I prefer this to a hotel.
What about airbnbs? Do you have any (positive) experiences with staying at an airbnb? I'll be visiting Japan and want to have a more immersive experience and I feel like a hotel would be an entirely different experience.
Another thing to be aware of is a double bed vs a semi double. In a regular double room you will most likely get a regular sized double bed. However in a smaller room, you might get a semi double which is narrower and can be uncomfortable for 2 adults. Also there's a difference between twin beds and a Hollywood twin with the latter being 2 twins pushed together.
I used to stay at an amazing business hotel in Meguro, until … they switched their japanese breakfast to … a STEAK breakfast. Really! People were eating steak for breakfast every morning noooooooooooooooo. 😅
I always say, “Right up your alley!”
Honestly, the only real downside was that the business hotel we stood at in 2018 was sooooo small. We definitely expected it, but it got really old, really fast. LOL.Outside of that, the experience was pretty good. It was clean and it was a place to sleep. LOL.
Is there a middle ground between capsule hotel and full room, I recall hearing about a style where the bathrooms are shared down the hall to save money etc., but you still get your own (small) room as a solo traveler that might be quite okay.
I've never had a bad hotel breakfast experience, even in the lower rated hotels the breakfast options and quality were superior than anything I've had in the US and elsewhere! I also felt lighter and did not feel like passing out during my outings around the city. Don't bother with the Western style breakfast — Japanese grilled salmon, dashimaki egg, rice with raw egg, and miso soup is the way to go!
I love the pee analogy, makes total sense 😆 we stayed in a hotel in Japan recently and thankfully it was nice enough for foreigners! Love your insights and videos, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and happiness 😍
i just know that one day i am finally able to visit japan. and i just know that you are my guide 100%!
I am a solo musician that is visiting Japan in September. Can you give the same advice for capsule hotels? I plan on experiencing the no frills side of Japan
Martina I so enjoy your videos! Thank you so much for making them!!! You comfort me on my bad days. Its so nice to see someone else with EDS make content about their lives. Love you!!
For me business hotel is not an issue at all, I rarely take breakfast inside the hotel, I better explore breakfast outside. Lol and konbini are everywhere and they have good food option. As long as the room cheap, clean and close to station, I’m staying.
We say “up your alley” in the US 😊
I always stayed in hostels in Japan and had a good experience overall!
Everyone has their own preferences I really liked the business hotels I've stayed in, I travel alone though so the small space is not a problem, would def be too small for 2ppl ! Looking at google photos is such a good tip though, I've just looked at the hotel i've booked for my next trip, so far seems the same as the hotels photos very basic but cheaper then anything else I've found so my broke ass isn't gonna complain !
Toyoko Inn is the best we spent 2 months in Japan in 2020 and just got back from 6 weeks in Japan , Toyoko Inns was so easy close to stations, food was fine and predictable, its only a place to sleep ………..keep it simple save your money
I've always stayed at the hotel in Tokyo which has a Narita or Haneda Bus haha i hate to travel in a packed train
Very useful ❤
my dad is retired now and enjoying it by going on trips in between visiting friends and family, so if japan ever makes his list i've got a go-to vid to share with him!

I remember staying in a smoking hotel room in the 90s and omg it was hard to breathe. But anyways I will say when I went to tokyo when I was 10 I remember these amazing rice pillows and ahhhh I had the best sleep of my life
This was very helpful! Thanks!
Up ypur alley…as was this video!!!
