Here are 5 reasons I could think of as to why I love staying at ryokans - and why you should experience it too!
🛏️ Unique Japanese accommodation experience: Ryokans offer a unique and authentic accommodation experience, where guests sleep on futons and wear yukatas. There are also ryokans that have western-style beds, which is a good option for people who don’t feel comfortable sleeping on the floor.
🇯🇵 Immersion in traditional Japanese culture: Staying at a Japanese Ryokan allows you to fully immerse yourself in Japanese culture and history, as the traditional architecture and atmosphere of the Ryokan preserve the essence of old Japan. I also love the ryokan’s tatami flooring - I think it’s very cozy and uniquely Japanese.
♨️Hot springs or onsen facilities: Many Ryokans have onsens, which are traditional Japanese hot springs, providing guests with a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
🍱 Delicious traditional meals: Ryokans serve Japanese meals, such as Kaiseki, made from fresh and seasonal ingredients, offering guests a delicious and memorable dining experience.
🌊 Relaxing atmosphere: The peaceful and serene atmosphere of Ryokans provides guests with a chance to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of modern life. Many Ryokans are located in scenic areas, such as the countryside, mountains, or near the sea, offering breathtaking views and a chance to connect with nature.
