should i stay in a traditional ryokan with no attached bathroom, one night 4,000yen (approx $52) or a normal business hotel per night 6,300yen (approx $82)?
dunno whether can tahan 4-5 nights without private bathroom leh... so far, i only stayed 1 night in a ryokan (and that's bearable)..
choice between privacy and $$$!!!

the difference is about ~S$150. i'd pay to have privacy. it's 5 nights leh. if it's 2, i might just tahan the communcal bathroom. but 5, i cannot.
Haiya, if you can go to Hokkaido until sian, what's a few more dollars for an attached bathroom?
Unlike me, who can only afford one vacation a year. *sob*
:P
auntie p, of course i can afford the bathroom. however being the cheapo kiasu singaporean that i am, of course can save a few dollar MORE to buy stuff is always welcome mah... it's almost half price leh...
imp, forgot to add that total is 8 nights, and not 5. so the total saving is $200.
$200 leh!! *eyes pop out* can buy a lot of pocky.. hehe..
If the ryokan has a resident cat, I will take the ryokan. Their business hotels also quite cramped for 8 nights. Toilets so small until almost cannot turn.
But I do know most ladies have this thing about en-suite toilets. They are usually very particular about this. Most men I know, don't really care.
The choice is clear: Got cat then ryokan, else hotel. :)
alamak, kxbc, you dont expect me to ask when booking, "neko ga imasu ka?".. wont they think i am crazy?.. come here to see cat or to stay??
anyhow, have decided most nights to stay in business hotel. yes, it's a girl's thing. i need to put mask and also soak in bathtub etc..
Actually some of these ryokans may place that info on their websites. There are potential guests who do not like/are afraid of cats so this is like a pre-warning. Then there are those who likes cats and would specifically look for one. Or those who do not mind a cat walking in and out of their room.
