What are Japanese apartments called?

Question:

Yes, please tell me what they are called, unless they're just called apartments. But I know that some Japanese hotels are called Ryokans. So I was just making sure because I'm working on a project, and it has Japanese apartments and hotels and what not and I want to make this as nice as possible. And if you have any good websites or anything like that I can learn from, I would really appreciate it. Thank you! ^_^

Answer:

I'll add some photos to explain the difference.
Regular Japanese apartments ARE called "apaato" アパート(same word, different pronunciation)

There are different types of them though, newer and bigger buildings (mansions) are also called "manshon" マンション http://www.homealive.net/area/aichi/nago…
The private houses are called "ikkodate" 一戸建て.

The old Japanese style hotels are called Ryokans.
But the modern western style hotels are called "hoteru" ホテル
