It costs about $425/night for the two of us including dinner and breakfast so cost is the reason why we haven't just booked the two nights in the Ryokan already. If we only stay one night in the Ryokan, we would spend the other night in a Western-style hotel.

Is one night enough or should we go for two nights to really have the authentic experience?
One night will have you wishing for a second night. Our experiences at Tawaraya in Kyoto are among our most cherished travel memories. By all means, stay at a Ryokan, even if it is only for one night.
