Various Encounters with the
Unknown
Experience the elements
of Japanese culture and customs: living in a room with
Tatami (straw mat) flooring, changing
into a typical Yukata (robe) after
taking an Onsen hot-spring bath,
sleeping on a Futon (bedding) put down
directly on the Tatami floor, and etc. in a ryokan, a traditional Japanese
hotel.
Ryokans are accommodation facilities which are imbued with
the traditional culture of Japan. As a result, it is quite understandable
that foreign guests are often perplexed by many things when staying at a
ryokan. Nevertheless, it is also true that various encounters with the
unknown will greatly deepen the impressions and excitement of your journey.
To be captivated by a totally different landscape, to enjoy experiencing
something new, to try out local flavors, all for the first time ... these are
surely what make any journey exciting, allowing you to become immersed in a
special sense of freedom that cannot be savored in daily
life</p><p>The very act of coming into contact with the
traditions, culture, climate and customs of the country you are visiting or
the land through which you are traveling is in itself particularly precious.
If you have any queries or comments, please do not hesitate to inform the
ryokan staff. They will, of course, do their best to make your stay an
agreeable one without any inconvenience, by responding to your needs in a
friendly yet thoughtful manner.
Visit a
Ryokan for that very Purpose - to Experience Staying at a Japanese
Ryokan
The majority of the guests staying at
Japanese ryokans tend to choose the ryokan after first deciding their purpose
of travel and destination. Also, many guests appear to opt for travel
products with itineraries and accommodations predetermined. On the other
hand, many guests visit a ryokan for that very purpose to experience staying
at a Japanese ryokan. In either case, the pleasures of your travel will
depend greatly on the accommodation you choose, so to ensure an agreeable
holiday please carefully select your lodging according to your priorities,
including the purpose, preferences, budget and conditions.
