Japan hotels

Yes, there are hundreds of beach resorts with sandy beaches and clear water. The sea around most of Japan rarely gets above the mid-twenties Celsius even in summer so it’s a little bit cooler than the Mediterranean but still fine for swimming, snorkelling and diving. Accommodation available through KAYAK ranges from five-star luxury such as the Busena Terrace in Nago, famous for its pineapples and turquoise seas, to simple seaside B&Bs and hostels on the remote and fabulously unspoilt Yaeyama Islands at the southern-most tip of the Japanese archipelago.

Surprisingly for such a densely populated country, Japan has incredible wildlife – bears, snow monkeys, sea eagles, elegant cranes, and sea mammals of all kinds. Book accommodation at Shiretoko Village through KAYAK for bear-spotting trips in the nearby national park, or think about a winter wonderland stay at one of the many country hotels in Hokkaido to see the dancing cranes, sea eagles and snow monkeys in their hot pools.

The world’s first love hotel opened in Osaka in the mid-sixties and the concept has spread across the world. Japan has thousands of love hotels in city centres and along the inter-city expressways but despite their romantic name, love hotels are very practical, allowing travellers to rent a hotel room for a small number of day-time hours – perfect for visitors spending just a few hours in a city.
