Staying at Ranryo was truly a remarkable experience. The traditional setting, with tatami mat flooring, added to the charm, and the dining-especially the 10-course dinner-was simply exceptional. While the onsen facilities were great, I found that immersing myself in local culture was far more enriching than navigating the Tokyo scene. The only downside was that the shuttle service was a bit limited, as I wished for more options on excursions.
