Small hotels with character
all over Japan

HinokiHotels.com is an independent guide to places to stay with character: ryokan, small hotels, guest houses and townhouses, from the lanes of Kyoto to the Japanese Alps, from Hokkaido to the islands of Okinawa.

We are preparing the first pages. Come back soon.

• A selection, not a list

  Fewer places, chosen one by one.

• Region by region

  Every region with its own guide.

• An independent guide

  We write about the places worth it, not the ones that pay.
