Ryokan recommandation
Hi everyone,
My wife and I are planning our dream trip to Japan from mid-February until March 3rd, and we really want to spend at least 1 or 2 nights in a traditional ryokan.
What we’re looking for is:
a real authentic Japanese experience
beautiful nature / peaceful atmosphere
onsen experience (one we could reserve to enjoy)
breakfast + dinner included, preferably served in the room
accessible by public transportation since we probably won’t rent a car
At first we dreamed about one of those Mt. Fuji ryokans with a private onsen and Fuji view… but after checking prices, reality hit us 😅
So now we’re looking for something more affordable while still feeling magical and special. Honestly this is kind of a dream experience for both of us, so we’d reeaaaaally love to find a place that feels traditional, relaxing and memorable without completely destroying our budget.
We don’t necessarily need luxury (not can we afford it) atmosphere, nature and authenticity matter more to us.
Do you have any ryokan recommendations?
Areas in particular, maybe far from touristy attraction (might be cheaper?)
Would also love to know:
what price range is realistic in February (i think we could go up to 300$ or maybe 400?)
Thank you so much 🙏
EDIT: the inroom dining isn't really a must as long as we have that omakase vibe
