Accomodadtions
3 - 4 Stars Quality
We choose Ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) as much as possible to support local tourism and economy.
Ryokan is traditional Japanese style inns often run by family and in many cases it has Onsen (natural hot springs) on site. It’s definitely the best choice if you want to experience authentic Japanese accommodation.
However, there are a few things to remember before staying there.
-
Traditional Japanese room does not have bed, instead, it has Futon mat on "Tatami" straw weaving floor to sleep on. The photo is how typical Ryokan room looks like.
-
Most of the accommodation provide "Yukata" traditional night robe, you can wear it to hot spring and restaurants on site. You don't have to carry your night clothing as much if you enjoy Yukata.
-
Most of Ryokan provide nice public Onsen hot spring to share, then some of the rooms do not have their own shower and bath. Public onsen has washing place where you can wash yourself.
-
Some of Ryokans in remote area do not have toilet in each room. They have public
