Find Out Why Family-Run Hotels are So Comfortable in Japan!

However, the unique aspects of a minshuku create some space for extra things you could be mindful about. First of all, minshuku are almost always family run. They are usually smaller and can sometimes have few staff.

Don't worry too much though. These are not rules, only tips. If you follow them, you will probably leave a very positive impression!
