I've seen beautiful photos of ryokans, but they're expensive. Are they worth it for a first-timer? Would love recommendations.

We stayed in one near Arashiyama — tatami mats, onsen, everything was amazing.

Definitely worth it at least for one night! The meals alone are an experience.

Try booking one with a private bath if you're shy about the public onsen.
