Personal Picks: Where to Stay in Japan

I can speak from experience as a solo female traveler when I say that booking a hotel, hostel, or bed & breakfast takes a lot of time and careful planning. Prior to choosing a place to stay, it is important to carefully weigh factors including price, location, amenities, and room alternatives. I've curated a list of places I've stayed when traveling throughout Japan in this guide.

One exception to this list is the Vessel Hotel Campana, which I reserved for my clients. This is unquestionably the hotel I would reserve if I intended to visit Okinawa at some point. The beach is reachable on foot from here, and you may take in the ocean view.
