The Best Places For Extended Stays In Japan
Staying in Japan for more than a week? Here are some options for longer-term stays that are both cozy and affordable.
There is so much to see and do in Japan that sometimes a short trip simply isn’t enough. If you find yourself in the country for multiple weeks and months at a time — whether for work, leisure, or otherwise — you’ll need somewhere to stay. However, some hotels can get expensive, while others are specifically designed with short-term visitors in mind.
Luckily, today there are tons of options, from capsule hotels to Airbnb to share house programs and even homestays. If you’re planning an extended stay in Japan, here are just a few great options to consider.
&Here: A new kind of hotel
The &Here brand has already made a name for itself as a prime option when it comes to long-term accommodations — and it’s not even open yet! The first &Here hotel, located in Ueno, Tokyo, is scheduled to open on March 15, 2024. It was delayed slightly following an originally planned January launch. However, it has been taking reservations since July 2023, and the first several months are already heavily booked.
