Some pictures from my authentic Japanese hotel room - it is all very simple but complete, there are no electrical equipment except a water boiler for the Japanese green tea and a lamp for the evening moments. You sleep on a futon that is laid out on the tatami floor and you have a low table on which you can sit, write, drink tea, ponder about life, the walls are doors that slide sideways, and the sceneries are zen-like. All toilet and shower facilities are outside the room in a dedicated area. Some hotels have a full onsen facility, which includes bathing in hot water outside in nature, in separate areas for each gender. Landing in a hotel room like this is pure bliss, it is a beautiful way to encounter the more traditional side of Japan. This is the one of the guesthouses nearby the city center, about 15' walk from the station.
