“Hi all I’m planning a trip to Japan in January, a week for skiing and a week before to do some touring. My question is should I book accommodation through a travel agent or try to find motels and book them myself”

You probably don’t need a travel agent for booking places like motels in Japan. Most accommodations, including unique options like capsule hotels, can easily be booked online. Just a heads up, though: capsule hotels have age restrictions (usually 13+) and separate guests by gender, without allowing room for conversations inside the capsules. These spots are super cool but might not fit if you’re traveling with family. For a family trip, a business hotel or regular hotel might be more comfortable and still budget-friendly. These places are straightforward to book on your own, so you can manage it just fine!
