🛏 Roadside stations with hotels & lodging 81

A little-known category: michi-no-eki with actual accommodation attached — roadside hotels, hot-spring inns, cabins, and one famous converted primary school in Chiba. They make superb overnight bases for a road trip: you wake up at a farmers market, with your first sightseeing stop already behind the windshield.
