Curated Collection
48 stays
This filter answers two requests at once: a kitchen that will cook a proper vegetarian kaiseki, and a bath you don't have to share. We track 88 stays in our database across Japan that offer both vegetarian meal options and private onsen bathing — whether open-air baths attached to rooms or reservable family baths — from $120 a night. Yamabiko Ryokan in Kurokawa Onsen leads with a 9.8 guest rating around $150, Atami Kakurezato (9.7) is a strong-value pick at $157, and Bettei Oborozukiyo brings the combination to Dogo. Confirm dietary details at booking, several days ahead, and ask whether private baths are included or charged per session.
