Hotels in japan...please help!!?

Question:


I'm going to japan with three other friends later in the year when it is winter. We are going to tokyo, osaka, kyoto and hokkaido.

Firstly, in hokkaido we want to go skiing, should we go to sapporo or niseko? we want to stay in a skii resort or something nice anyway.

We will firstly be arriving in tokyo, can you suggest any nice hotels there? between 3-5 stars but not overly expensive. any suggestion would be great. we want something close to everything.

we all wanted to stay in a love hotel (just because we thought it would be funny) so if you know any crazy love hotels in osaka or tokyo so we can see what they look like. we only want to do that for one night so any suggestions of nice hotels in osaka for the rest of the stay there? making sure its close to everything aswell.

in kyoto we want to stay in a traditional japanese place, so if you have any suggestions with that aswell.

i would greatly appreciate this, thank you so much !

Answer:


Love hotels don't operate as regular hotels. They charge by the hour, not the day. Staying overnight is exceptional and relatively uncommon. If you're out all night and looking for a place to crash after the trains stop running, I've had friends get a room out of desperation but they were also with Japanese friends who could negotiate the room properly. So, I wouldn't recommend love hotels at all- depending on the part of town, you could also be running into a yakuza establishment and you do NOT want that.

Best of luck!
