I'm Going To Japan

mah gosh if you're ever bored...take your time and look at the facilities at each one...it's UTTER EXTRAVAGANCE.....i definitely want to go to one soon...the views and the accommodations and facilities look impeccably appointed.

my next trip, i'll be sure to invest time to do more research, my last few trips were a discovery, trial and error...

i probably won't be staying in Shinagawa Prince Hotel again, although it is very nice there, and somewhat affordable for a 4-star, but i want to stay elsewhere in Japan, and really a nice Ryokan experience is what i am seeking... :say_yes:

those ryokan are literally the best of the best..i throughly investigated that site...i liked the onsen i went to in hakone but there is no comparison to the ones featured in that site...the fotos are absolutely GORGEOUS.

i've been wondering about Ryokans... do they have like safes and stuff where you can put your valuables... or do the sliding doors lock?

my friend and i stayed at one in Kyoto, but it was......an older one, that was not anything close to that website that Tu posted on, there was no safe, but we had our own room/kitchen area. so, not sure if was truly an authentic type Ryokan, ...... :headscratch:

dirt mining.







in case you didn't know, dirt mining is where meth-heads go dig up contaminated dirt after meth producers illegally dump the waste liquid in a field, or desert. the liquid may contain as much as 5% methamphetamines still.

i'm not sure because i only been to one..the one i went to...actually had a regular door...but lemme tell you this i can say with a HIGH degree of certainty that the staff would not jack your shiet....

not a ryokan but a true story...when i stayed at the park hyatt shinjuku....i had a bunch of clothes sent down to dry cleaning...one of my pants had a wad of cash in it....when my clothes came back the cash was wrapped in cellophane plastic with a bilingual note in japanese and english saying that they found this with my clothes...i was shocked...that's SERVICE

most ryokan are in isolated locations and the staff would know who exactly is staying there.......it would be unlikley a stranger would jack your shiet.

yeah it's goregous...the one you're talking about but most of the locations are ORGASMIC....there are several kanto ones nestled way up in the mountains as well...

when i went to the hakone onsen....i really felt as if i was on another planet for a while...it was so idyllic and divorced from the rest of the world....the word tranquiillity in describing it is not inappropriate.

im definately bookmarking that one, in case i ever win the lotto... :rofl:

one of the windows you see in that far building was actually the window of our bedroom out to the world...we could hear the constant rushing water of the rapids the whole time we were there....it was quite spectacular...
