Staying at a ryokan with hot spring

[rogue_strider]

hahah I was staying in yugawara so didnt go pass gora and didnt had time to go the sulphur valley as well but hakone afterall is the hot springs for me so I only saw the shrine and lake ashi before heading back on the last bus at 3.50 pm! The buses end pretty early in smaller towns and if I were to miss the bus, I will have to cab back to my ryokan! Didn't want to miss the kaiseki as well which was gooddddd.

Thats nice to know you had a good time and it was a good thing you took note of the bus schedule.

Any mid range ryokan to recommend for Kyoto? Those that are inclusive of meals will be good.

Sorry to awake this old thread

Will be visiting kyoto and interested to stay in a ryokan. Is it worth to stay in one at sgd 400 per night per person?

All i know about a ryokan is they provide a meal or 2 per day. Is there anything else to do in a ryokan? Price sounds pretty steep if im just gonna use it for accommodation purposes along with those included meals

Yes, soaking in the onsen while overlooking some scenery (if there’s any). You can only check in after 3pm (do sightseeing before heading to the ryokan) and dinner usually is served latest by 6.30pm-7pm unless it’s at a buffet restaurant. And usually people continue their sightseeing journey after breakfast and checking out.

ok so it sounds like a night or 2 max in a ryokan is more than enough since there isnt much to do in it apart from onsen and enjoying the nice meal(s)

is sgd 400 per night per person too steep? what is a decent price for a ryokan night's stay?

Usually few shops will be open past sunset. At most stroll around nearby vicinity in the case of miyajima or noboribetsu.

Ya can be boring but onsen meant to relax.

Price range is very wide, basic ones can be from 100 per pax per night with half board and up to 1k+ for high end ones in hakone, depending what you want.

¥30,000 per pax means above average hotels/ ryokans. Do enough research before booking. Sometimes it depends on the type of food served, season you’re going, room you’re staying and if it’s a weekend or public holiday.

As for budget wise, it’s really up to individual. The most I’ve paid for was around ¥35,000 per pax (excluding taxes) and both meals included fugu and local beef. My recent trip at Kawaguchiko cost me ¥32,000 per pax because I chose to have A5 Kuroge Wagyu shabu shabu for dinner.

Hi, mind sharing which one you stay at? Usually where is the best site to book ryoken?

I usually book either through Rakuten Travel (Japanese website) or directly with the hotels/ryokans. Usually I search for the hotels that I want to stay with Google Maps first (location and views) and shortlist them. Then I read reviews and check the different plans the shortlisted ones offer.

Kawaguchiko? That one was Kozantei Ubuya. The other one that offered fugu, Tadaya was in Wakura Onsen.

usually a ryokan stay is for one day relax and just hot springs and chill

Anyone has had experience of a mid-range ryokan around lake kawaguchi? Headed to tokyo soon and didn't realise it's golden week so trying my luck and seeing if something which isn't too pricey is avail - probably in the range of 3-400 for 2 pax.

 

[Shalomp]

Yes i think so too thanks for confirming

I can't imagine spending more than a day just idling in a tub of warm water and pay steep prices for it

If you feel that the price is steep check out on other ryokan. Pricing depends on location, season, food and environment.

Apology to bring up this old thread, as searching for onsen in Kyoto and this thread is one of the few that appear.

We are heading to Kyoto/Osaka in end December 2018. We have booked our hotel for both Kyoto and Osaka. Now last minute my girl want to go for onsen. But she's not comfortable to go for public one, be it mixture of genders or segregated for both genders. She will prefer private onsen.

Any Private Onsen to recommend for Kyoto (Around Kyoto Station)? Have a few requirement though.

1) As mentioned we have booked our hotel. So the onsen have to accommodate non-hotel guest
2) The onsen can comfortably fit 3 person. My child is 16 though, so consider as 'adult' as well
3) Necessary facilities are in the room as well like shower? As I read some are outside or public kind.

Thanks in advance!

I do not think there are any private family onsen rooms in any of the onsens in Kyoto city, let alone near the Kyoto station area.
