Best Traditional Japanese Hotels

TOP5 Best Traditional Japanese Hotels in Tokyo

If you would like to stay in a luxury traditional hotel while in Tokyo and experience Japanese culture during your stay, we would recommend the following hotels. The exterior of the hotels are modern, but once inside the hotels, the Japanese architecture, sculptures, paintings, and interior design with traditional techniques are very interesting. As far as I know, there are no luxury ryokans in central Tokyo. If you want to stay in a luxury traditional ryokan with hot spring, we would recommend visiting Hakone, Atami, Izu, Mt. Fuji area, Kusatsu Onsen, etc. near Tokyo. Ryokan means a traditional Japanese hotel.
