			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hot springs are located all over Japan. In fact, you can also find hot springs near the major cities including Tokyo.  Whether you plan on visiting Tokyo for its hot springs, to sightsee, or shop, you’ll probably need to find some sort of accommodation.</p>
<p>Japan is one of the fastest advancing countries in the world. The business opportunities in this country are increasing day by day, and therefore, more and more people are keen on visiting this country for better options. Tokyo, the capital, is one of the busiest places in the world due to the same reason. People in huge numbers are getting attracted towards visiting Tokyo for its umpteen number of lucrative business openings. However, with such traffic coming in the city, short stay in Tokyo is not an easy job. It’s difficult for one to find apartments in this city for short stay that fulfill the needs of modern living standard. But this issue is being looked into now and is slowly being solved by the number of <a href="http://hundredstay.com/guide/hotel_stay/index.html" target="_blank">upcoming short stay apartments in Tokyo</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.covenant-hotsprings.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/japan-hot-spring.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-21" title="japan-hot-spring" src="http://www.covenant-hotsprings.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/japan-hot-spring-300x225.jpg" alt="hot spring in japan" width="300" height="225" /></a>But, there’s another question that comes up – what can one do to get a short stay apartment? Short stay apartments, as the name itself suggests, are apartments that one can rent for a specific period of time – six months to even a year. But, you need to have the proper documentation and finances to rent it. New people who join the offices in Tokyo from other cities/countries, small capital businessmen (women), and corporate who are interested in staying in the city for a short period of time within a minimum amount. However, low cost doesn’t mean that the apartments lack in any modern amenities. This makes it an economical and practical option to look for. Most are also located in central locations such as Shinjuku.</p>
<p>And now, the important thing – How can one find a short stay apartment in Tokyo? Contacting a local real estate agent for the same will be the best way to do so.  This can help one get support for searching and time to settle comfortably. Sometimes, they can help you in documentation that you might require for renting the place, and also the bank loans.</p>
<p>However, one can also find help through certain organizations and agents that actually offer hotels for short stay via the internet.  Many of them have their websites too and through that, one can get the contact numbers and certain details about the accommodations. In many cases, online payment is also possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Onsen  for those of you who may not know is the word in Japanese for hot spring, though it is also used not only for the actual spring itself but also for the facilities and inns around the hot spring. The volcanic activity of Japan, mean that there are thousands of onsen spread across the country. Traditionally used for public bathing, are now mostly for tourism and relaxation. There are many Sento that fill the role as public bath houses.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/41/Onsen_in_Nachikatsuura,_Japan.jpg" alt="" width="1234" height="878" /></p>
<p>The layout and styles of Onsen are hugely varied, they may be or outside or indoor baths (rotenburo or notenburo) either public and run by the local government or privately owned (uchiyu). They are often connected to a hotel, ryokan or B&amp;B (minshuku). I have yet to meet a Japanese person who does not extol the virtues of visiting Onsen, couples, families and even companies often visit onsen together.</p>
<p>The is a term in Japanese hadaka no tsukiai  which roughly translates as “naked communion” it means to get to know people on equal footing in a relaxed atmosphere. There are an abundance of Japanese television shows featuring onsen across the country. To find an onsen while looking on a map you need to search for this symbol ? or the kanji ?(yu, meaning &#8220;hot water&#8221;).</p>
