(1) My Top Hotel and Ryokan Picks

Discover My Secret Hotel Picks

▶ Click to reveal the hidden gems I’ve personally stayed at!

  • Kyoto
    The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike
    Best Value Hotel in Kyoto: Offers great value for the price with authentic Kyoto ambiance and high-quality dining.
    Marriott Member Perks: Enjoy complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea, light dinner, and drinks in the lounge.
    Quiet and Relaxing Environment: The surrounding area is peaceful, perfect for a day of relaxation.
    Only Downside: It’s a bit away from Kyoto’s main areas.
  • Nara
    JW Marriott Hotel Nara
    High-Quality Rooms: The rooms are exceptionally well-appointed, offering a luxurious stay.
    On-Site Amenities: Enjoy the hotel’s pool and fitness club, perfect for relaxation and staying active.
    Outstanding Dining: The food is absolutely delicious, providing a top-notch culinary experience.
    Marriott Member Perks: As a Marriott member, you can enjoy benefits like late check-out and complimentary access to the lounge.
    Downside: The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey. But that’s it!
  • Osaka
    The Ritz-Carlton, Osaka
    Exceptional Hospitality: The staff’s level of service and hospitality is absolutely outstanding.
    Delicious Dining: The food at the hotel’s restaurants is truly exquisite.
    Luxurious Decor: Every piece of decor in the hotel is high-end and absolutely stunning.
    Two Minor Drawbacks: While you may not get a “Japanese” experience, the luxurious international atmosphere makes up for it. The rates are a bit high, but the exceptional service and stay make it worth every penny.
  • Mie
    Resort Kumano Club
    Relax All Day: Perfect for spending a full day at the hotel, enjoying its serene atmosphere.
    All-Inclusive Experience: Indulge in meals from breakfast to dinner, plus evening drinks, all included.
    Stunning Natural Surroundings: Experience the breathtaking beauty of the World Heritage-listed Kii Mountain Range.
    Downsides: The property is large, so be prepared for a bit of a walk to the dining areas and hot springs (though shuttle buses are available, and it can be a delightful stroll). Another drawback is the lack of nearby attractions, but I personally find that part of its charm.
