Hello all,
I'm heading off on my first trip to Japan soon (May 8-15, flying into NRT), spending most of the time in Tokyo with a few days in Kyoto. I'm desperately seeking help/advice on accomodations!

1.Opinions on staying in a hotel vs. ryokan? Are ryokans generally pricier? Another consideration: my boyfriend is tall, 6/5", and definitely wants to be able to fit into the bed/room we stay in...

2. Would it be a better idea to perhaps stay in a hotel while in Tokyo and a ryokan while in Kyoto?

3. Can anyone recommend well-located (near subway/rail) and clean/comfortable Tokyo hotels for $100US or less? Or good Web sites to find hotels?

Thanks so very much,
Stephanie
