"From glassy spa suites that tower six-hundred feet above the glittering metropolis to gently lit ryokans tucked along its coastlines and islands, Japan’s best hotels aren’t just portals into the country’s culture, but oases of tranquility that feel wholly apart from the outside world. You’ll find hot spring baths that steam under the night sky, calming enclaves beside ancient forests, or world-class spas perched on mountain overlooks from which to relax and recharge." - Ashley Ogawa Clarke
