Is Japan really as expensive as everyone says? It's still quite reasonable when compared to New York or Paris.

Japan offers a wide range of accommodations, from venerated luxury hotels and international hotels such as Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts Hyatt Hotels & Resorts or Starwood Hotels & Resorts, to national chains that provide comfort at reasonable prices.

Ryokan offer the ultimate Japan experience. Sleeping on a plush futon and sharing a hot spring bath with a group of strangers are a great way to learn about the country. Also, you can experience the refined meals, which are as pleasing to the eye as to the tongue.
