...Japanese hotels ($9 to $15 for a double room) have all the comforts of home, but in the provinces tourists should be prepared for hard beds, little heat and no inside plumbing. Japanese food is generally heartier than Chinese cooking, with tender steaks and sizzling sukiyaki, a thin-sliced beef dish cooked at tableside.
