A Survey of Japanese Hotels

I'm almost halfway through my time in Japan. At school being halfway through a semester means midterms, but here in Japan it means traveling! We have a week off to explore some other areas of Japan! Monday and Tuesday we were in Matsue, an ocean side area on the west side of Japan. We stayed in a traditional japanese hotel where we got to use the onsen (japanese public bath) and it was so nice.

Here's a photo of an onsen (unfortunately not the one we were at)

After the bath we changed into our yukatas.

And then had a wonderful dinner full of seafood!

We even got to walk around the little town all dressed up. 

Tuesday night Nicole and I spent the night in a capsule hotel in Narita airport before our flight to Sapporo! Here are a few shots from nine hours Narita (would definitely recommend!)

Home for the night!

All the female capsules

Nine hours complimentary sleepwear!

I'm writing this on the plane before we lose connection for a few days, hiking in Daisetsuzan National Park in Hokkaido (staying in a hostel that I'm afraid will be a lot less luxurious than what we've experienced so far). And then we'll be in Tokyo until Monday! Can't wait!
