Note
Western-style hotels are limited in number within the region. Larger hotels, in particular, may already be booked by tour groups. Himeji and Tottori offer a sufficient number of Western-style hotels. Western-style hotels offer room-only or breakfast-included options.
While some Japanese inns offer beds, it’s common to sleep on futons on tatami mats. The futons are soft enough to allow for relaxation This in itself will be an exotic experience! Also, the price of Japanese inns regularly includes breakfast and dinner. Please pay attention when checking prices. Some accommodations allow you to skip dinner, but please check individually on their websites.
Minshuku (Japanese-style bed and breakfast) also often provide dinner, but again, some accommodations allow you to skip dinner, but please check individually on their websites.
Within the region, there are accommodations that will provide transportation to and from the departure point of the official buses to the Arena. Information on such accommodations will be announced in September.
