ryokans/hostel/hotel for 5?
Hi,
We are a family of 5 (children between 14-18) that will go to Japan for 10 days. We are planning to stay at both ryokans and hostels as well as hotels. At the moment we are planning to stay a few days in Tokyo, but also visit Kyoto and Nikko - and maybe Nara (might be too much). As we are 5 - anybody who knows how difficult it is to reserve rooms for 5 as we want to avoid having multiple rooms (due to cost). If possible we would like to find places to stay at following as much as possible of the following: - place for 5 people, hopefully in one room - located centrally in the towns, or convinient transportations nearby - clean - prefer Japanese atmosphere rather than western style (as staying in Japan) - no curfew in Tokyo, the others might be ok Anybody? flowers.png Appreciate any help! |
It will probably be easiest if you stick to Japanese style rooms - hotels with 5 beds in one room would be almost impossible... But 5 futons in a large Japanese style room would be no trouble at all. Ryokans are almost entirely Japanese style, and in my experience hostels also tend to be so - although a hostel may not have a room large enough to accommodate all of you.
If you stick with ryokans and minshuku (a sort of lower level of inn) and tell them that you have 5 people in your family, you shouldn`t have any trouble. At the in-laws` inn, they have groups of 8+ stay quite frequently - it`s very easy to add another futon to a room. |
Great. Thanks for your nice advice
