Well, I got an email back from Yoshikawa Inn saying they have a room available. It's $440 per person per night (Almost $500 to include Kaiseki dinner). I am debating on trading off Nara and Osaka for two nights and a slower pace in Kyoto. Is the trade worth it, or does the Ryokan in Nara appear to fit the traditional bill close enough? Thanks for your help. Decisions are hard. EDIT: Our room at Wakasa Bettei is #301 - Our room at Kyoto Hot Spring Hatoya Zuihokaku Hotel is the Japanese style -

We just got home last week from a 3 week trip to Japan that stretched from Tokyo to Kyoto to Hiroshima and included surrounding areas. It was an amazing trip and I can't wait to go back! Here is a link to a few of our pics (Probably 5% of the total pics I took) During our trip, we did a mix of tour company excursions and self-guided tours. There were a couple of tours/experiences that were a waste of time and money, but there were others that were totally worth it. TSUKIJI MARKET TOUR (Inner/Outer tour) - this was a waste of money and time. Just wander around by yourself and try all the samples you can! The Inner Market is the wholesale area where you get to see wholesale prices, so that was interesting, but overall that tour was a waste. MT. FUJI BUS TOUR - this was actually not bad at all. It was nice being able to sleep or watch the scenery outside and it included lunch. We did the Lake Kawaguchi area one (including 5th Station, Mt Kachi-Kachi Ropeway, fruit picking, and the Oishi flower garden) and the views of Mt.

Fuji were amazing. The lunch was also amazing and the tour was in English. One thing to note is that you won't have a ton of time at Mt. Fuji 5th Station, but I found the views of Mt. Fuji were better from farther away anyhow. We booked it through HIS International. OWL'S GARDEN in Harajuku - this was an Animal Cafe where you could spend time interacting with various kinds of owls and hawks. Unlike a lot of animal places in Japan, I really felt like the birds were well taken care of. You can pay a little extra to have one of the birds fly from their perch to your glove encased hand. It was pretty awesome and probably one of the best animal experiences we had in Japan. I booked the tickets for this through HIS International, but it wasn't that busy so you could probably just buy the tickets at the store. STUDIO GHIBLI MUSEUM - This was amazing even without the ability to take pics inside. An added bonus is that there were several soufflé pancake places in the area, so we got to do that as well.
It took us about 45 minutes to get up there due to the steep grade and amount of stairs. We were rewarded with a great view of the Kyoto area and the chance to feed some monkeys. I liked that the monkeys were not cooped up and had free reign over the area. The humans were put into a cage/house to do the feeding (the monkeys were free outside). HIROSHIMA - This was a very sobering experience and it was very much worth the time and emotional investment to go. It was a little off-putting to see people taking smiley selfies with the Atomic Bomb Dome, but just experience it for yourself and own your experience. OKUNOSHIMA - My number one piece of advice is go early!! The line to buy tickets to the ferry is long because they only have 1 ticket machine and the ferry is slow, so the line for the ferry to the island and from the island was also hugely long. The earlier you get to Tadanoumi to catch the ferry the better experience you will have because the lines will be shorter and the rabbits will be more excited to see you.

It was a superb insight into maikos and getting the chance to talk to her and ask her about her life was excellent. The actual performance was mesmerising and although it was short, it was well worth it. The dinner itself was incredibly filling and delicious, the unlimited alcohol went down very well. Highlight of the evening has to be playing some drinking games with the Maiko. It was so incredibly fun and everyone seemed to have a really good time. Would really recommend this to anyone and everyone. Yes it's a little pricey, but I'd argue it was worth every single penny.

Once they were finished explaining the culture and her kimono, they went table to table so that we all could ask questions and take some pictures. Then came the drinking games. The loser had to drink sake or beer, the winner received a small prize. I won! Everyone was laughing and having a great time. I think teens and adults would like this best.

Must see show Nov 2019 Don't try to catch a glimpse of these ladies in the streets; go to this show! The show had 2 geikos (name of geishas in tokyo) and one maiko. You can see them up-close and more important, see their craft (playing music, dancing and singing). After that, there were 2 fun 'drinking' games (you can choose between beer & tea) and you can take pictures with them at the end. You can also talk to them and ask them questions. The food was also excellent and you can drink as much as you want. Written 3 November 2019 This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Vending machines for drinks are EVERYWHERE (which I love), but sometimes they will have both hot and cold drinks (usually coffee)! Before you push your selection, make sure you pick a red button for a hot drink or a blue button for cold drinks. My husband was very sad when he ended up with a hot coffee can! If you are traveling outside of the main city areas, make sure to bring cash. Even tourist areas like Nikko, Nara, and the Gion shopping area will have shops that don't take foreign credit cards or credit cards at all. Shrine fatigue is real!! Don't feel bad if you get tired of shrines! We basically decided to hit the ones that had something special - the Giant Buddha at Todai-ji, the thousands of torii gates at Fushimi Inari, the "floating" torii gate at Miyajima, the huge lantern at Asakusa, etc. YMMV, but that was our experience. Speaking of fatigue, some train stations do not have escalators or elevators so if you are with someone who has limited mobility, keep that in mind. Asakusa JR Station comes to mind as one that we had trouble with (my mom has a hard time with stairs) The JR Pass is pretty awesome, you can get to most places without using the local trains and subways, though it might take you a bit longer.
