Japan can show you the modern and the old-fashioned hospitality by just staying in the oldest and the most advanced hotel in the world: the Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan and Henn-na Hotel. Nishiyama Onsen Keiyunkan was founded in Yamanashi Prefecture as early as the 8th Century, and passed down within the original family for 1,300 years. It still maintains the traditional ambience of washitsu or tatami rooms, and the relaxing onsen baths.
On the other hand, in Henn-na Hotel located in Nagasaki, a humanoid receptionist and a Velociraptor will assist you in checking-in. The robot staff will assist you from the concierge, to the cloakroom, to bringing your luggage in, and even turning off the lights on in your room. If you hate dealing with the hotel staff, or just wanted to hang-out with the robots, it’s the place to couch-surf!
