A Japanese Dream at Takaragawa Onsen and Osenkaku Ryokan Hotel. For full blog here: Sharing our stay at the Osenkaku Ryokan Hotel in February after just two hours travel from Tokyo in Minakami Gunma.
The one experience not to be missed in Japan, for me, is the traditional ryokan experience, which is more than just your typical hotel stay, but a package of must-do cultural experiences, all wrapped into one. This normally includes a traditional hotel suite, with frills attached, the hot spring baths, complimentary kimono dress, and, more than not, a multi-course kaiseki dinner. I have said similar with past ryokan stays, but Takaragawa Onsen in winter was more. For me it was the Japanese dream, where, other than on-screen, I never thought places like this existed in real life.
