You are having trouble finding one because you are not looking for one. In Japan, hotels are usually western styled. Looking for a "hotel" will only get you western styled accommodations. Japanese style are called ryokan or minshuku (the minshuku usually being the lower in rank/quality - but not always).

Your best bet is going to be to look for a ryokan with onsen attached, as they are almost always 100% traditional.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
