Compare flights into Tokyo and out of Kansai before buying a Tokyo return. Leaving from Osaka saves the journey back across Honshu. Count hotel nights from landing to departure, then put each stop on the calendar: ten nights mean eleven days. With two weeks, extend west to Hiroshima. For a shorter holiday, finish in Kansai and spend the saved train time in your chosen cities.
A ryokan rate is often per person and includes dinner and breakfast. Allow ~¥15,000–40,000 per person with two meals; simple inns can cost less. Choose a futon or bed and a private or shared bathroom from the room description. Arrive before the inn’s dinner time, leaving the afternoon for bathing. An early arrival gives you more of the stay even when you book just one night.
For Hakone or another onsen town, choose the bath alongside the room. An in-room bath lets you bathe together in private; a reservable family bath gives you a shared slot outside your room. Ask the inn before booking if its tattoo rules affect you. In communal baths, wash before entering and keep your towel out of the water.
Fish-based dashi appears in soups and sauces that can look vegetarian. Carry a Japanese explanation of the ingredients you avoid, especially for a Kyoto set dinner or a rural inn serving one menu. Look for shojin ryori, Buddhist vegetarian cuisine. In Tokyo and Osaka, a hotel near several restaurants gives you more choice than a fixed dinner plan.
For wheelchair travel, use JNTO’s accessibility resources to plan the station exit and hotel entrance together. Staff can help you board and leave trains. A platform lift alone does not identify a step-free route to your hotel. Ask about the property’s entrance and bathroom layout, then save those details with its address for your arrival.
Allow ~¥12,000–30,000 per night for a mid-range double room shared by two people outside peak dates. Per person, a casual lunch often costs ~¥800–1,500; dinner ~¥1,000–2,500 before drinks. Kyoto accommodation tax is per person per night: ¥400 on that person’s taxable accommodation charge of ¥6,000–19,999, or ¥1,000 at ¥20,000–49,999. Compare room costs, included meals and local taxes separately when choosing between a ryokan plan and a hotel.
