Hello all! I am traveling to Japan in October with a group of three adults – we're spending a nice chunk of time in Tokyo and then joining up with a (Backroads) bicycle trip with stays at the Ritz-Carlton Nikko and River Retreat Garaku before ending in Kyoto at the Four Seasons. We are planning on extending the trip an extra night in Kyoto and trying to figure out where to stay that might offer a slightly different experience. I know Kyoto proper may not be the best place for a super traditional ryokan and onsen, but if anyone has any thoughts about a spot that might come close, we would be so appreciative! Thanks in advance.
