Tokyo Ryokan

Tip #8  Miyabiyado Takemine Ryokan.  Patricia found this beautiful Ryokan close to the Shinto Temple site for our Wedding Celebration, our... Japanese honeymoon ryokan.
If the tiny rooms at the APA Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower are too small for you... rooms in this ryokan are larger. Last look, rooms there start at around $256 per night.

Ryokans: Japanese Style Traditional Inns

Tip # 7   Ryokans are Japanese Style Traditional Inns found throughout the country especially in hot springs areas. "Ryokans are a special and relaxing experience that everyone should take the opportunity to try."  They make most memorable the feeling, the essence of Japan. 

 As a Japan Fulbright scholar,  the Japan Fulbright Memorial fund organized our journey.  A ryokan stay was saved to our last night on my first trip to Japan. I believe this was done to leave us with the sweetest memories of our journey. I'd recommend the same for you, your last night in Japan should be a ryokan night.

KYOTO

We stayed at Hiragana Ryokan while we were in Kyoto. It was such a charming inn. We were checked in by the owner (who was in her 90's who still came to work! In the future, we would not stay in a different ryokan, this traditional inn set the bar too high.

TOKYO: 

Patricia found this beautiful Tokyo Ryokan close to the Shinto Temple site for our Wedding Celebration.

We knew this Ryokan would be a perfect stay for our wedding. It exceeded our expectations, so we recommend it to you in a heartbeat!
