Hey everyone,

My wife and I plan to explore Japan for 3 to 6 months toward the end of this year. Will start from Aomori and travel south to end in Osaka or Fukuoka.

One main challenge is finding affordable accommodation while on the move. We will explore an area for 2-3 weeks before moving on to an adjacent prefecture. We are hoping to get some tips or info from you guys. Not considering Hostels/Shared houses with shared baths. Is hotel the only option?

Any other tips will be much appreciated! For context, we have been to Japan many times and are quite familiar with the Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto/Kanazawa areas.

Thanks!
