I am traveling to Japan in May 2009 (30th wedding anniversary). Looking for some Japanese traditional ryokan with scenic settings and fairly easy to get to. We are visiting Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima and Mijiyama. Flexible enough to stray - I have studied Japanese for 4 years so I don't mind no English speaking accomadations. I have checked many web sites, but would perfer some real life experience input. Also, looking to stay at a temple if any one has any recommendations it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
