The Big Secret behind this Tokyo accommodation is that it's one of the most Romantic things to do in Tokyo.
In fact it is so romantic, I hear some people have proposed during their stay.

A nice little Tokyo Ryokan is Yoshimizu Ryokan Ginza.
This serene retreat has natural bamboo floors.
The tatami (rice straw floor) used in the guest rooms is 100% organically grown.

And last but not least, this engine is also very user friendly. Click around it a bit and you'll see what I mean. The page I linked to provides an coupons for a nice little Ginza Ryokan-
