Today, we were supposed to go for shopping at Gotemba Premium Outlet before the 3% tax increase on April 1st. However, there was a train disruption that caused long train delays. Unfortunately, we decided to cancel the shopping day and to go straight to our next destination: Hakone.
Beside the cherry blossoms viewing, I have been waiting for this day to come, our biggest splurge ever: staying at a luxury japanese ryokan with private onsen!
The room we booked is the cheapest room available in this ryokan: $300 CAD per night per person! No you haven't read wrong! That's the most expensive stay I have ever paid for! But this price includes a 10+ course dinner and breakfast, access to a public and private onsen, and 5 star service! And omg, the FOOOOD! It's like Japanese version of Europea! I feel like in Heaven! :))
Omg!!! Too bad that outlets is canceled but wow! The hotel room looks AMAZING!!!!! it's very pricey but it's all good!! Enjoy life!!! :)
ReplyDeleteeverything about this spa/springs is beautiful! it looks so serene. my favourite pic is the one with the chair and the view. could totally picture myself there, sipping on some tea, and just reading or talking or looking at the view!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just looked at your post again and now i feel hungry for decadence. it's too bad we don't have a japanese europea here. :(
DeleteHoly macaroni... that's the life!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep enjoying your trip to the fullest you two, it all looks incredible over there :)
I wish I could see some of those views (and eat some of that food) for myself! Hehehe
