An introduction to Japanese Ryokans
If you visit Japan and are looking to expe ience traditional Japanese culture and hospitality,
then staying at a Ryokan might just be the thing for you. These Japanese inns have a special
character and atmosphere and are a centu ies-old pa t of Japanese culture. They were
o iginally built for travellers who needed to rest on long jou neys.
Although there are many different styles of Ryokans, offe ing guests a wa m welcome is of
great impo tance at them all. Ryokans not only differ in style but also in quality and p ice. At
the low end is the ‘standard Ryokan’ and at the high end, the ‘luxu ious Ryokan’. The ‘standard
Ryokan’ will provide you with basic accommodation and the rooms will be ve y plain.
However, it will also be cheap, for example 8000 yen. At a ‘luxu ious Ryokan’ you will be given
eve y comfo t possible and treated as if royalty. Paying over 70,000 yen, you will be able to
enjoy all the mode n conveniences and are likely to be situated near to a natural hot sp ing
and somewhere with a spectacular view of nature.
Whilst Ryokans provide fantastic Japanese meals, Weste n tastes can often be
accommodated but it is advisable to choose the Japanese menu so you can expe ience
another side of the culture. Dinner is an impo tant event, so expect to be brought course after
course. The traditional multi-course dinner is named ‘kaiseki’ and you may find that while you
are staying in a Ryokan, many people will visit it simply for the delicious food. Although
‘kaiseki’ began as a vegeta ian meal, this is no longer t ue and these days, both meat and fish
are often included in the meal. The ingredients used are always those in season at the time
and traditionally the menu changes each month. It is this freshness of ingredients that makes
the meal so popular.
Another pa t of the Ryokan expe ience is to take a bath. Bathing in Japanese culture is
considered a way to clean your body and relax. However, as bathers share bath water, the
etiquette is to clean your body before getting into the bath. A special area is provided for this
purpose. Here, people sit on the stools provided and, using the shower heads and taps, clean
and inse their bodies before ente ing the hot baths. If you are unsure of what to do at any
time, it is a good idea to simply watch what others do and remember to check the
temperature of the water before you get in the bath as the water can be ve y hot.
