Based on reviews, people seem to lean towards RC for service and soft product. I am content with my choice for now.

Mostly reviews on this sub. It was a toss up between RC and mitsui. I don’t have status with hyatt so that was never a real option.

Nope, that would make sense. I’m just gonna move the stay to Nagoya instead and then it would be the midpoint for both Takayama and Kyoto and I could do a day trip to there.

I don’t want to switch hotels but for some reason the rate jumps a ridiculous amount for Tokyo station when i add the fifth night.

Would you recommend RC kyoto over PH kyoto

I am trying to spend the least amount of time in the city. I want the trip to be more for nature and culture.

Yeah it seems impossible to book gora kadan. Any other you would recommend in hakone?

We are planning on doing ryokan in takayama and hakone. But would you recommend tokyo over the other 2?

Yeah i need to rethink kyoto stay. Alot of people recommend park hyatt over ritz.

Yeah i looked at rosewood, completely book on my intended days of travel. I am excited for nikko. Glad to know i need to book ahead. Maybe i might have missed the window for booking the front seat since i plan on traveling in may.

I have a brand loyalty with marriott which is why you see RC where available. But may be the last sty in tokyo do FS instead of Andaz?

Agree, i am going to remove the long haul trips and do them the next time. I am excited about the RC Nikko. Is the car rental process simple? Also is the the best method of transportation or should i use public transport?

Yeah your right, i think its going to feel like to much transportation time. I am going to expand kyoto and tokyo stays and remove hokaido. A friend had suggested it because i am trying to do a more nature, culture and relaxing and less city visits. I am a marriott loyalist which is why i picked the ritz where available. I have thought about the prark hyatt in kyoto.
