Here are a list of questions I thought of that you could ask:

Both male and female can stay? Both male and female can stay in the same room?

Are there locks on the room doors?

How safe is each neighboorhood?

Are we expected to give a hosting gift (usually money)?

How close is each place to a subway?

Are they air conditioned? I ask because of something I read on Taito Ryokan's web site?

Check on bathroom (you said you were going to ask about this already)

Is there anything different staying here then in a regular american hotel that we should be made aware of?

Both male and female can stay? Both male and female can stay in the same room?

Yes, I think so. The inns are all for both male and female. About sharing a room, I will ask. But all of these inns are very Americanized so I don’t think it would be a problem. I think it would work out either way, as long as we knew in advance and booked 2 rooms.

Are there locks on the room doors?

I am assuming so. But again, I would ask and make sure. J

How safe is each neighborhood?

I am not worried about this. Every neighborhood in Japan is safer than the one I live in right now. ^_^ And I live in a good part of Austin. I think unless we enroll in school there - we will be all right.

Are we expected to give a hosting gift (usually money)?
No hosting gift. These inns are Westernized and work a lot like a hotel. But I imagine we would take a small “texas something.” These inns are family-run and I think we could make friends easily that way.

How close is each place to a subway?Taito - 3 minute walk to Tawaramachi Station on the Ginza ( ... )
