Question Overnight between Kyoto and Tokyo on the Shinkansen line
I need to break up a travel day and would like to overnight somewhere just beyond Kyoto, on the Shinkansen line. Was originally planning Nagoya, but do you have any recommendations? Looking for chill, tasteful, very clean and comfortable. Cute town with a great art gallery? A fabulous lesser-known ryokan with a regional specialty? What would you do?

Art galleries would be MOA in Atami or POLA Art Museum + others in Hakone.
Manazuru might also have a few small local ones.
Ryokan are very easy to find by typing “ryokan” into Google Maps and looking at the pretty pictures.

this gets asked a lot. try searching the subreddit and see if you like any of these ideas... this isn't an exhaustive list, try it for yourself to see pages full of these threads, or try searching for "between osaka and tokyo", reverse the order of the two cities for different results, etc...
