Japanese style or themed accommodation in Melbourne
What Japanese-style or Japanese-themed accommodation is available in Melbourne?
I tried doing a search for ryokans in Melbourne, and while I've found a number of ryokans in countryside Victoria, which is the logical place to have ryokans, I haven't found any in Melbourne itself. Shizuka Ryokan is in the Daylesford/Hepburn Springs area, as is Daruma Ryokan, while Japanese Mountain Retreat (billed as a blend of ryokan culture and modern architecture) is in the Yarra Valley/Dandenong Ranges area. Japanese Slipper, which described itself as having "traditional and authentic simplicity" but doesn't call itself a ryokan, is 40 minutes from the CBD and close to the Dandenong Ranges.
Doing a search for minshukus in Melbourne didn't get any relevant results.
I'm willing to be very broad in my definition of Japanese style or Japanese themed accommodation. Anything with tatami or a futon would definitely count. Even a backpacker's hostel which is heavily Japanese themed would be ok, even though hostels are not very traditional. It should have reasonably good non-car transport access to the CBD, as I anticipate having dinner or going out to the pub in the CBD.
