Ginyu (Hakone)
The Hakone Ginyu is one of the most luxurious hot spring ryokan in Hakone National Park.
Ginyu means a person travelling to gain inspiration for a poem, and it is with this wanderlust spirit in mind that the ryokan combines traditional Japanese rooms with artefacts from the owner's travels in Indonesia.
The entrance to the ryokan is at the top of a lush valley with fantastic views across the national park. The Ginyu harnesses the natural hot springs of the Fuji region for fantastic onsen baths, some of which are actually constructed in the rocks by the riverside. All guest rooms have a private hot spring bath too, all with great views.
The rooms, which start at 68 square metres, resemble traditional Japanese rooms, with shoji paper screens, tatami-mat areas and natural wood, but they supplement this with the comfort of thick Western-style beds, sofas and wooden chairs so you don't have to sit on the floor. Other hotel facilities include two bars, a lounge and excellent spa. Breakfast and dinner are included and served privately in the guest rooms.Yamanochaya (Hakone)
The Yamanochaya (literally “mountain teahouse”) is a gorgeous secluded ryokan with just 15 guestrooms. The property perches on a steep mountainside camouflaged among bamboo, cryptomeria and pine trees.
As guests to the Yamanochaya ascend the wooden steps to the lounge and bar area, they are greeted with beautiful views over the Hayakawa River below. After a welcome cup of green tea, the kimono-clad hostess will appear and show you to your rooms. She will be personally at your service throughout the stay, serving your meals in your room and setting out your futon bedding at bedtime.
Guest rooms are almost Zen-like in their simplicity, with natural wood, soft tatami-mat flooring, calligraphy scrolls and flower arrangements. Most rooms have a private outdoor hot spring bath and balcony to complete the sense of seclusion.
There are also five communal hot spring baths dotted around the ryokan, most of which are outdoors where you can feel the mountain breeze. Dinner is a kaiseki banquet of seemingly endless exquisitely presented courses, including local specialties such as mackerel sashimi, yuzu citrus and matsutake mushrooms. All that's left is to gaze at the moon and enjoy a cup of sake at the ryokan bar.Watanabe Inn (Miyajima)
The Watanabe Inn is a paragon of Japanese hospitality and will undoubtedly provide a highlight of your trip. There are just four, beautifully appointed guest rooms – each with its own private hot spring bath.
The inn is at the edge of Miyajima's main village, a short walk from Itsukushima Shrine and right in front of Daisho-in Temple. Run by the very hospitable Watanabe family, the ever-so-thoughtful staff will arrange a complimentary pick-up from the ferry port, and will do everything they can to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Included meals are served in the ryokan restaurant, and the kaiseki multi-course dinner features regional specialities such as oysters and Hiroshima eel.
With such wonderful service and such a beautiful setting, a stay at the Watanabe Inn is sure to be one of the highlights of your trip.Daikichi Minshuku (Tsumago)
This authentic, old-style inn has appeared on TV Tokyo's "Top Ten Minshuku" programme and been patronised by many celebrities.
Known for its warm welcome and local cuisine, the Daikichi has just five guest rooms and is one of our absolute favourite Japanese-style inns. Just watch out for the fried grasshoppers in the set dinner course! Rooms are small, simple and not en suite, but there is a shared bath that can be reserved for private use.
The minshuku is located in Tsumago, a former post town on the Nakasendo Highway that once linked old Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto. The residents of this area have made a huge effort to preserve the historical buildings and traditional atmosphere of their area, meaning that walking into Tsumago from the hills of the Kiso Valley really is like walking back in time.Andaz Tokyo (Tokyo)
Newly opened in June 2014, Andaz Tokyo sits atop the striking Toranomon Hills high-rise, the second-tallest tower in Tokyo. This 164-room luxury boutique property is set to redefine the hotel scene in the capital city.
The rooftop bar on the 52nd floor offers open-air seating for a dramatic eating and drinking experience, whilst the 37th-floor spa features a 20-metre swimming pool overlooking the Imperial Palace. A ground-floor café, artisan bakery and an all-day dining restaurant on the 51st floor complete the scene. The high-ceilinged reception area is devoid of the usual front desk, but instead provides an art-filled space for you to complete the formalities on an iPad, whilst relaxing with a complimentary beverage.
The guest rooms all have amazing views and are stylishly modern with distinct Japanese influences. Inclusions are plenty, such as free Wi-Fi, local calls, snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages. All rooms feature fast-fill, deep-soaking tubs, luxury bathrobes, yukata bathrobes, slippers, a large LCD television and an iPod dock.
The hotel is less than 10 minutes in a taxi from Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace, and within walking distance of Ginza, Shinbashi, Hamarikyu Gardens, Zojo-ji Shrine, and Tokyo Tower.Ginyu (Hakone)
