Experience a Traditional Japanese Ryokan with the Shangri-La Tokyo

Ever wanted to experience Japanese onsen (natural hot spring baths) while staying in a traditional ryokan (Japanese inn)? Leave it to the luxe Shangri-La Tokyo to orchestrate a distinctive cultural experience for guests. With the "Asaba Package," you can bed down in urban style at Tokyo's Shangri-La for one night, before being whisked away to Asaba Ryokan, a luxurious inn dating from the 17th century, surrounded by a bamboo forest and pond not far from Tokyo. After a leisurely two-hour train ride, check into Asaba Ryokan for a night's stay where you'll have unlimited access to the indoor and outdoor onsen. Available until December 31, 2010 and priced from JPY 160,000 for two nights, the package includes accommodations at both the Shangri-La Tokyo and Asab Ryokan, return tickets on the Odoriko Train between Tokyo Station and Shusenji Station, transfers to the ryokan, a Kaiseki Dinner at the ryokan with a glass of Champagne, and breakfast.
