Stay in a Traditional Ryokan in Japan

  • Ryokans have been part of the Japanese culture for centuries and originated to allow travellers an overnight rest on their long journeys. In traditional ryokans you take off your shoes in an "agari-kamachi" and separating each room are sliding paper doors. You will most likely be sleeping on futon and eating on low wooden tables while sitting on the floor. View our selection of Ryokans in some of the top destinations around Japan.
