Hi all

next year march 16 -24th my gf and me would be heading to Japan for our getaway trip

i intend to bring her to Hakone as we have yet to go hakone tgt and i am intending to propose to her


As such i wanted to book a ryokan.. but dont really have an idea which ryokan is good :/

my budget is around 500-600ish for 2D1N. is it too low or high?

what is the recommended range you guys think i should book a ryokan at? :x


Do you guys have any recommendation that i can look at?

and also would like to check are there any florist nearby there?


do you guys think that is a good idea to propose at the Hakone Shrine? will there be a lot ppl if we go before sunset or early in the morning? haha

and do you guys have any links that i can hire a photographer for tat day?


Thanks all hope to hear from you guys soon!

No budget but won't spend too much on good luxury hotels. Just wanted to relax and see snowing.
Anyone can recommend good hotel as in nearby JR and convenient stores at sendai, akita, aomori, Tokyo?

Definitely too rush. Too many places in 8 days.
And you need to factor in travelling time between these places.
Instead of flying back from Tokyo.
Why not fly back from Osaka instead so you can stay 1 or 2 nights there.
Unless you already bought your flight tickets and accommodations.

It is called Century Southern Tower Hotel...

https://www.southerntower.co.jp/

I booked directly from the website... coz those apps like expedia and agoda always shows sold out... but their website still available...

3rd parties like Experdia /Agoda are only given a specific number of rooms to sell and in many cases the hotels will retain rooms for direct booking.

In my case when i booked this very same hotel (Century Southern Tower Hotel) 3 months ago for my upcoming trip in 2 weeks time, Agoda offered the best deal.
