Whats a guest house and how does it work? What are the other types of accomodations Japan offers? I want to find an apartment in Yokohama somewhere, does anyone have any websites that can help me?

Thanx

A gaijin house is like a boarding house. People live under the same roof, and they sometimes share rooms. Kitchen and bathing facilities are often shared, too.

For places in Yokohama, just do a simple Internet search. I just did with the words "guest house Yokohama" and came up with a lot of hits.

A guest house may be the same thing, or it may be a traditional inn (like a ryokan). Depends on some people's definition.
