explanation: Some people in rural area transform their home, usually of Japanese style, to an accommodation facility during the highest tourist season in order to increase their revenue such as farmers near ski resorts and fishers living in tiny islands. It looks like British "bed and breakfast" but the evening meal is also served. Don't confuse with "pension". It means small western style hotels in tourist resorts. There exist about 20,000 minshuku all over Japan.
