As a relatively frequent visitor to Japan (except of course since Covid started until now), I have still never stayed at many ryokan. OK, some, but no top ones.
Now that we have this amazing post by KI-NRT, that's going to change for me going forward. Thank you so very much for doing this. If I knew how -- and despite being a moderator, I don't -- I would totally want to see a list by prefecture along with a link to the specific ryokan in each prefecture. Something to look into, but in the meantime all I can say is WOW and THANKS!

It might be difficult to compare prices with a conventional hotel as most (and probably all high end) ryokan prices include at least breakfast and dinner.
