QUOTE(deodorant @ Aug 18 2016, 01:44 PM) 1. Does it seem like something you and your wife would enjoy? 1. i just know it's japanese house architecture thingy, then got tatami, sleep on floor? XD i didn't know what to expect so i am complementing.2. Can you afford it? If your answer is yes and yes then go stay ryokan lo. i am just thinking if stay ryokan it would be better if it's natural places rather than in town area? i might be wrong on my understanding about ryokan. 2. i explore a bit if around osaka town area 1night rm1K ada, if further a bit like nara maybe rm600 pun ada? |

QUOTE(sacwoc @ Aug 18 2016, 03:33 PM) Sleeping on the tatami is just one part of the experience. Most ryokan are small and you can enjoy the onsen more as there are less people. Some you can even booked it all to yourself and family or if willing to pay you have an onsen in your room. Besides that you will also be able to enjoy the food they serve. If you just plan to stay in ryokan without the dinner/breakfast, I suggest you just find a normal hotel that has tatami room. thanks for the insights bud.. onsen in room sounds so nice.. can relax and enjoy with wife 2 ppl world. any recommendation of ryokan with onsen/food in osaka of price within rm1k ? |
